Description gholmer 2004-03-04 13:28:05 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 200402251620 ]
[ JDK VERSION : J2SE 1.4.2_02 ]

In the new windowing system, maximizing the form editor is of limited usefulness because the inspector, component properties, and palette are not maximized along with it. In addition, any of those three can be maximized by itself, which is even less useful.
Comment 1 Milan Kubec 2004-03-09 14:31:04 UTC 
Reassigning.
Comment 2 Tomas Pavek 2004-03-10 06:23:33 UTC 
This is rather a window system issue - it does not allow to implement
something like this.
Comment 3 Milos Kleint 2004-03-10 06:28:36 UTC 
window system is based on the UI spec. Sending to ui team for comments.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2004-09-28 17:17:34 UTC 
IMHO effectively fixed in 4.0 - just make most windows autohide, but
not the palette window etc. Then the form window will take up most of
the screen but the palette etc. will still be visible.

Comment 6 Zdenek Konecny 2005-07-12 15:26:31 UTC 
Marked as closed. It's too old and the Windows behaviours are same like is
desired in UI specs.
