BUG: When is the Home Page not the Home Page?

When I have grabbed it by the top blue border and moved the window on my screen. I had been in a work layout and returned to the Home Page  check a feature. Whenever I move the window, Logos goes back to my work layout. I go back to home page and move the window. Logos goes back to work layout. Completely repeatable.

    Yup - move the main window on the screen and Home Page flips to my previous layout (the one Logos opens to).

    You can open the Home Page on top of everything else with <alt-H> and also close it with <alt-H>.  Everything should remain as it was.

    That's not the point of the Bug as you should be able to drag the main window without flipping the Home Page.

    Apparently I don't understand what you're talking about—why drag the main window?

    To get it out of the way of my grandson's app - he can print, I can read (nice wide screen).

    Because I want to change its position!

    EDIT: LOL, Martha - I want to see some other app. icons

    You should be able to drag any window in Windows without changing what's being displayed in that window.

    I always run mine full screen.

    Mine is usually 2/3 or 1/2 - perhaps as much because I am peering around a cat than that I usually have another app up in the remainder.

    I always have a number of programs running, but I use <Alt-Tab> to switch between them.

    This is a bug; and I think it must be a new one. I just switched to the homepage with L4 on my laptop screen and then moved it to a second monitor. I changes the to working layout I was using before opening the Home Page. I am almost sure I have done this same thing before without losing the Home Page.

    Thanks for catching it. MJ

    Thanks for reporting this - I have reproduced it and written up a case for our Development department.

    This issue should be resolved in the next update.

    Thanks Tonya. Confirmed in RC2.

    REGRESSION in 4.5 Gold (or rather an aspect of this bug that hasn't been fixed, or maybe it's just a related/similar bug):

    (Running Windows 7, in case that matters.)

    Alt+H to open the home page

    Alt+TAB away from Logos to some other app

    Alt+TAB back to Logos

    --> No problem. As expected, the home page stays up (you can even do this back and forth several times and home page still stays up).

    Now Ctrl+L to bring up the Library in a floating window.

    You can see the home page is still up behind it. So far, so good.

    Alt+TAB back to the non-floating Logos window.

    BUG: The home page rolls up and disappears, and you are returned to a layout window.

    Would expect home page to stay open until explicitly dismissed with Alt+H or by opening a file, resource, guide, tool, layout, or until you enter a command into the Go box and execute it.
