hi there,
I am using widescreen view. since upgrading to 4.0.1 the divider between the document list and the content of the selected document seems to move around fairly arbitrarily, mostly increasing the space for the document view.
while it would be nice if that behaviour would stop it would be a helpful feature if a double click on the divider would center the divider such that document list and content view equally share the available space.
thanks…
Not exactly what you want, but if you press cmd+6/7 (switch views), that’s pretty much what happens.
thanks, but unfortunately cmd-6/7 remembers the previous state, so once the divider is moved the cmd-6/7 option just re-produces the moved divider…
Then I probably misunderstand what you mean. Anyway, if you want to move this “divider” (is that what it’s called?) without the mouse, the only way I know is to use an app like BetterTouchTool.
When exactly does this happen? A screenshot might be useful, thanks.
unfortunately I have not yet found a pattern / a trigger for the change. not sure if the pictures help much, but here is a before and after:
what happens is that the relative window size gets changed and requires manual re-adjustment…
Ah, now I understand. Yes, I noticed that too. It also happens in DT 3. Suddenly the width of the document view changes. Although not as much as in this screenshot.
I think it happens when you switch from DT 3 to another app and then back and probably when you wake up the mac.
Does this happen e.g. after launching the app, closing & opening windows, hiding/showing inspectors?
I have not found a common trigger yet. only candidate is to have the screensaver and system lock come on and wait…after 30 minutes or so there is a high likelihood of the divider having moved…
Which version of macOS do you use?
MacOS 15.5 on an MBP with an M1 Max and 64GB of RAM.
Did you deselect the document or is that a symptom of the behavior as well?
I de-selected it. the document in focus does not change when the divider moves…
Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.
I haven’t been able to reproduce this issue based on the information provided here.
I’ve not observed this issue either and only use the widescreen view (on DT3 and now on DT4).
interesting…it just happened again, this time triggered by the upgrade to 4.0.2
@toao Your sidebar is set very narrow. Mine was too. Since I’ve made it a bit wider, “the problem” occurs less frequently. I don’t know, it could just be a coincidence.
Thanks…will give that a try…
