popw causes parent window application menu bar

[Cortical]

Hi,

script A raises a pop window, the user click selects an item in the popw portal row which executes script B. Script B does stuff bts, then closes the popw.

Under windows (xp/fm9A), the main layout window is maximised to hide the application window bar. When the popw opens however, the main layout undergoes an 'adjust' behaviour by showing the application window application menu bar. It is not instructed to do so.

Under mac (osx6/fm10A) it just raises the pop without changing the presentation on the parent window

How does one prevent the main window showing the application menu bar as the popw is opened?

Script A

#raise popw and pause

# the existing main window is maximised: the application menu bar hidden

New Window [ Name: "popw_select"; Top: $_Y; Left: $_X ]

# the existing main window shows the application menu bar; effecting a window in window, and displacing the actual layout

Go to Layout [ “popw_select” (…) ]

Show/Hide Status Area[ Hide ]

Adjust Window[ Resize to Fit ]

Pause/Resume Script [ Indefinitely ]

user clicks portal row button, perform script B [ current script: resume]

Script B

Go to Layout [ “bts_ ]

do stuff

Close Window [ Name: "popw_select"; Current file ]

Exit Script [ ]

some things to try; none look absolute fixes

The only solution is to never max a window in Windows. Just Adjust Resize to Fit.
