Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: IOhannes m zmlnig (zmoelnig) Assigned to: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Summary: [pd-gui-rewrite] font box changes focus
Initial Comment: in the pd-gui-rewrite, if i select the Edit->Font menu i can change the fontsize of a particular window.
however, when change the focus to another Pd-window (path, main-window,...), the newly focused window will receive the changes.
i guess this was meant as a feature, but it is really rather annoying, since my focus policy is "strictly under mouse". if i accidentally move the mouse so another pd-window gets selected, that one is changed...
please fix the fonts-dialog to the window it was called for. make the focus-change a selectable option (e.g. a toggle in the fonts-dialog)

Message: I've been using gedit on Ubuntu, Text Edit on Mac OS X, and Wordpad on Windows to determine how these things behave, to make them feel like native apps. For the Find panels on all, and the Font panel with Text Edit, they work on the focused window, hence pd-gui-rewrite does too. If you can show that the behavior you describe is what most GNU/Linux users would expect, I'll change it. Otherwise, use the attached plugin to give you this behavior.
