LookFrom, Explorer bug and request

I use a window manager (dwm) under linux. Window locations are dynamically tiled. I prefer no window decorations, so windows or child windows has no close or minimize button.

1 - New LOOKKFROM doesn't keep it designated location. When window size changed it always appear in center of canvas.

2 - When EXPLORER shown (or anything related to Explorer which is Layers, Linetypes, Views, Materials, etc) there is no way to close that window. And EXPLORER window grab focus and there is no way to interact with Bricscad or Commandline anymore. A key binding to close EXPLORER like Escape as in SETTINGS would be great.

    Hello onuronsekiz,

    Regarding your second remark, ESC should close the window.

    If it doesn't work, could you please create a support ticket, providing the Linux distribution and the version of BricsCAD you are using?

    Thanks!

    Since you mentioned it should be closed by using ESC, I did some experiments. It still doesn't close directly.

    However, when I click menu of Explorer window (Edit, View, Settings, Help) and menu is still open, pressing ESC twice can close Explorer. First ESC tap close menu, second one close Explorer.

    So, there is a way to close it. Not easiest but at least I can close it now.

    Thanks

    Hi onuronsekiz,

    I use a different tiling manager, i3, and while I do have some issues with the lookfrom (moving between workspaces), I don't have the issues you mention.

    In fact I went and tested out dwm myself with the stock config and I had no issues either. Maybe you could try resetting your config to see if that fixes anything?
