Many editors offer the capabilty of "splitting the pane" so that two parts of the same document can be viewed at the same time. (Word 97 puts this under the Window - Split menu item, and provides a dragable splitter as well. If you could even come close to replicating what Word 97 can do, it would be great.) I know this can be mimicked in ffj, but the window handling issues make it more problem than it is worth if you are working with more than one document. *** [FFJ CUSTBUG] This issue is based on a FFJ customer's bug report ***
The question is whether the editor should implement its own splitting or if the window system splitting should be more easier and comfortable. What core guys think about this issue?
It's currently available in menu Window/Dock Into/Editor/"constraint". In 3.3 or 3.4 available through drag and drop. I think editor shouldn't implement own splitting.
I forgot to say that Clone action must be invoked first. Maybe we can add action Split that would do Clone + Dock Into some side. Or we can modify Clone action. I don't know, this is probably issue for nbui discussion.
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Target milestone -> 3.4
Reassigning to Marek. Marek, please evaluate these enhancements, thanks.
Ask ui for the best solution here.
Passing to ui.
In my opinion it's done, Jano ?
Possible in 3.6.
