Which is rather more stringent than actually desirable, because it then makes it impossible for any part of that window ever to be outside the screen ever, which is *not* normal Wimp behaviour, but it's the only combination of flags that appears to produce the desired result of jumping up to the top of the screen to use the maximum visible area when the size is toggled. I can only assume that the 'standard' RISC OS behaviour (as displayed by NetSurf's main browser window for instance) of forcing the window onscreen when the user requests a toggle to maximum size, but permitting it to be dragged partially offscreen thereafter, requires some kind of application redraw rather than being handled entirely by the WIMP? -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == A poor workman blames his tools. ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org

Both of these use the "tree" template, whose source can be found here: http://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/frontends/riscos/templates/en#n2605 (And similar in the other languages.)

I've just noticed that the same thing applies to the global history window - if I check that in WinEd, the history window in the Templates file has *neither* 'Allow off screen' nor 'Keep on screen' flags set.

It has never been acknowledged, let alone confirmed or resolved (and it's still present, and as annoying as ever). https://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2831 Its is not normal RISC OS behaviour for the 'toggle window size' icon to expand the window *beyond the edge of the screen*, whatever the 'Allow windows off screen' configuration is, and indeed other NetSurf windows behave as expected - you can drag them manually so that portions are off-screen, but as soon as you toggle the size they expand to the largest possible size that will fit on the screen (moving to the top of the screen if necessary in order to fit in the maxmimum-size window) but no larger. The hotlist simply expands downwards from its current position, which causes the resize icon and bottom scroll arrow to disappear off the bottom of the screen, which under RISC OS means that you *can't* then resize it manually to make the bottom items accessible again -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away. ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org
