Vileace Posted November 30, 2024 Report Posted November 30, 2024 This suggestion it's a little hard to explain, so I'm going to list the steps to repeat the issue that I'd like to see fixed. Recreate issue Open the handbook. Select movable from the handbook options dropdown Move the handbook window to another area of the screen. Click on the Guides tab Now this Window returns to the fixed location not the location the window was moved to in step 3. The options drop down indicates "movable". Close the handbook Reopen the handbook The window is in the position it was moved to in step 3. Click on the Guides tab The guides page is now in the moved window position, as in step 3 and step 6, unlike the first time opening the guides tab in step 4. Click on any page in the guides tab Now this Window returns to the fixed location not the location the window was moved to in step 3. Click the Block and Item tab the window moves back to the position set in step 3. Select any block or item in the Handbook The page moves back to the fixed position. What I end up getting is pages jumping all over the window and the settings are a little less than intuitive. Suggestions There are 3 suggestion here that I believe will help, but I know this sort of thing is subjective. First. It is difficult to tell what option is set between Fixed and Movable. When you open the option drop down, if you move your mouse even 1 pixel the highlighting changes to "fixed" and it was hard to tell what the current setting is. It would help if the highlighting would not change until the mouse was click instead of on hover. or add radio button to the options. Second. My expectation was that all pages, tabs, and pages within the tab would open in the position the window was moved to, not jump between movable and fixed and each tab and page have its own position.. Alternatively each tab could have a variable position, but if that is the case, pages opened within that tab should be in the same location as the tab. Lastly. Include an option in the drop down to reset the window positions for all windows to the default fixed position. To get all pages back to "normal" I have to click on each tab, and click fixed and then click on a page within that tab and change it to fixed as well.
Thorfinn Posted November 30, 2024 Report Posted November 30, 2024 Not exactly sure what you mean. Multiple instances of the handbook? Kind of like an expansion of your suggestion to drag a page out of the handbook?
