Since upgrading to 4.0 I'm having an issue where the first text window
opened by TextWrangler has no title bar on it. This means the window
can't be repositioned, can't be minimized, can't be moved between
desktops and can't be expanded to full screen mode. New text windows
opened after the first one have a title bar as expected.

If I close all open text windows and open a new one, once again that
first one has no title bar.

Verifying my version number just now, I noticed the same thing is true
of the about window (no title bar, no way to close except via Command-
W).

Any idea what's going on?

If you find out how to fix it, I would like to know the answer to that too.  It is very annoying.

Okay, this was driving me batty, so I developed an AppleScript workaround.

Hey There,

I looked through the thread and don't notice that anyone suggested setting the 'Default Text Window' in the Window menu, but perhaps I missed that.

The simplest Applescript method around this dilemma is:

------------------------------------
tell application "TextWrangler"
tell front window
set position to {0, 44}
set zoomed to true
end tell
end tell
------------------------------------

Zoomed will respect the Dock-state.

You can change front to every if you need to adjust a lot of windows at once.

Create a script with the Applescript Editor, put it in TextWrangler's Script Menu, give it a keyboard shortcut, and go to town.

^Command F will enter/exit full screen mode.

I know it is very old. Just 'Esc' button works to restore window.
