Multiple windows?

[Mike Hodson]

I may not be searching in the right place, but is there functionality to enable multiple actual leo windows for one process? I've got 2 monitors, and would love to use the larger one to edit the text, and keep both the document tree and log window on another monitor.  

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Mike

​It should be possible on both Windows and Linux.  Just detach a pane (creating a separate window) and move it to the desired position/monitor.

​To detach a pane, use the Easter Egg interface.  Right-click in any splitter to see a pop-up menu.  Use the Open Window submenu and select the desired pane to detach.  You should be able to save the resulting ​layout.

Please try this and let us know how it works.

Hmm..
Your "right click" action is not as definite as it should be I believe.

I have to literally triple-rightclick within ~0.5s for this to work.
It seemed broken at first, until I started clicking like mad, and somehow ended up with

​Now I can sort-of-semi-reliably triple rightclick, but this seems like a bug in as much as a single right click does absolutely nothing.

I've seen this bug too. It seems to be Qt version and maybe OS /
window manager dependent. Sometimes a single click works reliably, and
I think I've seen the required click count go past 3, to 5 maybe.

What OS / window manager / Qt version are you using?
