[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54078] No more dock button on undocked panes

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #54078 (project octave):

@Torsten: 
Remember this is Windows, there's not much of a theme that pervades as much as
on linux. That said I have the "Windows Classic" theme on these Windows 7
boxes.

Some other observations (see next screenshot):
After the commands a = rand(3) and b =  and (3), opening them both in the VE,
and clicking one of the inner undocking buttons, I get the pic in the first
attached screenshot. One can see that there's not much of a clear separation
between the subpanes in the (docked) VE panel.

(That is a more generally valid observation - vertically arranged subpanes
have no clear separation at all on Windows; to resize docked panes that are
above each other one has to slowly move the mouse cursor until -somewhere in
the middle of the gray area between the panes- it changes shape into a drag
type cursor . No big deal, but not beautiful or helpful for novice Octave
users)

Then, after undocking the VE with the "outer" VE undock button (looking like a
"maximize" button), the pane with the docked subpanel moves out of the main
GUI window but the "undocked" subpane stays inside (!). Only after clicking
it's dock button [*] it moves into the undocked VE pane.

[*] I Didn't note it first but it is undocked main GUI panes that lack a
"dock" button. Undocked VE subpanes from undocked VE panel still have it. See
the second pic, where I undocked just one subpanel. Does that answer your
question Dan?


If you want to experiment yourself, I've uploaded a mxe crossbuilt installer
(64b-idx 5.0.0) from the day before yesterday here to save you the time for
crossbuilding:

Don't get distracted by some local mods (uitable & h5read patches from the
patch tracker that I keep "alive" + some smaller patches)
