Tearoffs/transient windows and minimize in Win32

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Our Gtk-based Win32 application have a "minimize" behaviour that's 
confusing to many users wrt handling of transient windows and also 
"torn-off" menus.

If I open a transient window like a file chooser dialog, then hit the 
minimize button in the main application window, the main window is 
minimized, but the file chooser or whatever stays open. If I then press 
the application's button in the dock (or whatever the Windoze crowd call 
it - you know, that line at the bottom of the screen), the main window 
is not restored, but instead, the transient is activated and moved to 
the top of the stack. In order to restore the window, I have to 
right-click on the button, then select "restore". More or less exactly 
the same behaviour is seen for windows that are created by tearing off a 
tear-off menu.

Is this what I should expect? Is there a way to change the behaviour? Is 
it a bug? And all those other questions...

I'm using gtk+ 2.10.7 - the binary version from
