Re: [discuss] Re: OO.o1.9.91 window docking issue?
Hi all, To enable docking by mouse via dragging, it is required that your windows show their contents while moving and not only a wireframe. Otherwise OOo does not receive any events from the system until you release the mouse which is too late. On XP go to ControlPanel->Display->Appearance->Effects... and make sure that 'Show window contents while dragging' is enabled. On some systems this might also be called 'full drag' or something like this. This only affects navigator and stylist, the toolbars are already in full drag mode all the time. The remaining windows will be changed like this for the next major version.

It's a bit touchy, but I can consistently dock the Stylist to the left OR right. I say 'touchy' because sometimes I grab the Stylist window and drag it over the left or right side of the OOo window (whether full screen or not) and I have to move it around the side a few times until eventually it brings up a dashed rectangle indicating that it's ready to dock. Other times it docks on the first try. Sometimes it requires that I drag as much as half the Stylist window off the OOo window (or screen when OOo is maximized). Not exactly ideal. Perhaps this can be improved by the official 2.0 release, but in the meantime I hope that helps. // Trevor Same here, Jamie & Trevor. WinXP Pro/SP2, OOo 1.9.91 Double-clicking puts both those toolbars on the left, but, with a little trial, I could drag and dock them on the right, too. I hadn't given this any thought when I first fired up OOo1.9.91, because I like the Stylist on the left, and got it there right away. I rarely use the Navigator, anyway, so it didn't matter. Two toolbars of that size take up too much of my writing space. :) Matt - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So if you click-hold on the left hand corner and drag to dock on the right side of your window, the stylist window will almost completely disappear off the window before it will dock. :) The cursor is the critical indicator. It doesn't matter where the stylist floating window is. Perhaps this can be improved by the official 2.0 release, but in the meantime I hope that helps.

The developers may have used aboslute co-ordinates versus relative co-ordinates on the gui grid. Perhaps changing it to relative addressing using a variable fix to the windowclass(object) could fix this problem?

Hi, Just fired up writer and tried what you suggest... no key pressing while dragging the window to the corner. No go. WinXP only issue?

Anyone else having this problem? The help doesn't mention how to activate docking other than double clicking. which doesn't work for me either. System = Windows XP SP2 same problem over here... Cor I'm not sure if the behaviour is the same in Windows but in 1.9.91 on SuSE you don't have to hold any keys. Just click hold and drag to whichever side. In fact if you hold any keys down it won't dock. HTH Cheers Yo That's been my experience. Anyone else?
