Multiple editor windows work for me in both 4.0 and 4.1. Open two files and drag & drop one of them to the bottom of the editor window. Then you will get two editor windows and you can compare source code between them. Feel free to reopen the issue if you have any other requirements. I'll attach a screenshot of multiple opened editor windows from my IDE. Created attachment 19977 [details]
Screenshot
The screen shot does not show multiple editor windows, it shows multiple internal panes within a single window. You need to have the IDE in MDI mode before you can create multiple windows. NB 3.6 used to allow multiple editor windows which let the user take full advantage of the available screen space and in multi screen environments you could event have some editor windows open on the second screen. The current focus of NB 4 on SDI mode and the degradation of MDI features is making the IDE much less configurable. Hi, as far as I know, the editor module does not define this behaviour. It is done in core/window system, so I am reassigning this bug to this module. Please reassign back if you disagree. actually 3.6 and 4.0 share the same window system. You could the the mentioned actions in 3.5 and before only. this is a duplicate of multiple tasks and enhancements under the #50352 umbrella issue. (#40463 and #43938 have comments about why it was dropped *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 43938 *** |
