Close window requires two 'Cmd-W' key presses

Starting a few weeks ago, DT3 demonstrates a new behavior that is a minor irritation:

In 3-pane view, if I want to close a window, I press Cmd-W once, which empties the bottom pane, and then have to press Cmd-W again to close the window.

I wish just to close the window. Is this a setting in an update, or is it perhaps a bug?

Thanks!

No, this is not a bug nor is there a specific setting to disable this behavior. If you are using document tabs, the first Command-W closes the tab; the second closes the window.

Thank you.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no tab open. One document open in preview pane. I am not closing a tab, I am making the document disappear from the preview pane. Then the second key combo closes the window.

Look at Settings > General > Interface > Enable tabbed browsing. Is it on?

I have a bit more info:

I have a preview pane open below the list of files. I do not see a tab within that preview pane. When I have a file selected such that its content is visible in the preview pane, and then open the Window menu, I see Cmd-W for Close Tab, and Opt-Cmd-W for Close All.

Once I hit Cmd-W, the Window menu shows Cmd-W for Close.

Does this help? Can I turn off tabs in some way (I never use them)?

You got it!

Tabbed Browsing was on. I turned it off, and all is back to my prior state.

Thank you.

Tada! :tophat:
You’re welcome. :slight_smile:
