TM->FT: A new wish for a feature, please have a look, thanks !

Hm. Unfortunately they have removed Navigator's and Stylist's ability to be rolled 
up to bar by doubleclick in Openoffice.org 1.1beta/beta2.
  Is that intentional?
  
The feature requested by Lars is quite interesting. But, if navigator can't roll up at 
all anymore ... I'd like to have that bar mode back first. 

You can use your window-manager's feature to roll up the window (where
available). You can 'dock' the navigator/stylist,etc to the side of
the Main-Window (press <ctrl> while dragging the window to the right
or left).
The window now has a pin and an arrow. Use the arrow to make it
autohide/stay and the pin to change whether the window should just be
on top of the document or whether it should be placed next to the
document (cannot explain it in english, just try it out).
If you klick the arrow to open the navigator, it will stay on screen
even when you leave the navigator window. If you klick below the pin
instead (just klick the bar) the window will hide when leaving.

To 'undock' the window, press <ctrl> and double-click in some
white-space in the navigator-window.

Please comment if you're satified with this solution

Not satisfied.

(I wanted to write "Yes" initially, because of the following 
explanation, but then, in order to get the right point first, I wrote 
what I did)

You describe auto-roll up for the docked mode. This is OK and good. 
But I like to have auto-roll up for the window in window mode to just 
the title bar when leaving the window area and unroll when pointing 
on the title bar (the title bar and window if unrolled must be always 
in front) like you have for the layers or overview window in PSP.

I would not like this behaviour but instead have back the rollup
functionality (issue 8095). This enables me to leave the mouse where
the style is located which I want to use. Therefore, the Paintshop
behaviour should be optional, or it shouldn't be there at all.

clarification:

> if not used, roll up to bar only,
> when mouse pointing on bar, roll down


if not used = if window rolled down and mouse moved out of window area

when mouse pointing on bar = if window rolled up and mouse pointing 
on bar roll down and leave it rolled down as long as it is "used", so 
mouse remains in window area

With 1.1 and 2.0 we will be more and more a "Good citizen". Zthis
means we will use as many gadgets from the underlying OS but not any
proprietary ones.
So a roll-up works just fine in Windowmanagern under Linux (at least
those that support this) and we also support it under windows in case
such UI enhancement is installed under Windows.
