Problems with more than one window #189
Comments
I can confirm this problem: When I (accidentally) open a 2nd window, it is really hard to get rid of it. The only way I found so far is to: Disable FIreTray, restart Thunderbird, close all but one window, restart Thunderbird, enable FireTray, restart Thunderbird. As long as FireTray is active, it is impossible to get rid of the additional window. |

Since the issue is resolved, I'll close this one. Feel free to reopen if I missed something. |
So you are saying, "the user is unable to close a window" is expected behavior? Really, I can't think of any situation where "Closing window hides to tray" does not mean "Closing the last window hides to tray". If anything else is even offered, it should not be the default, and should have some form of telling the user about Ctrl-W. So, from a usability perspective, please re-consider whether you want to offer your users this footgun. |
When "Closing window hides to tray" is enabled, it has some problems with more than one window.
It should ignore this option for non-main window or provide a way to really close a window.
Expected behaviour: exiting TB would close all windows except main one
Observed behaviour: impossible to close additional (child) windows. When reopening TB, it always remembers all the windows that were at some point open
