Mac Pale Moon 27.6.1 (and 27.5) child windows

Unread post by Goodydino » 2017-11-29, 18:57

I am not sure if this is a bug or something done intentionally, but with Mac Pale Moon, child windows opened by Pale Moon itself are stuck in one place and I am unable to move them at all. If it was done intentionally, why? If an extension opens a window, it is movable. Why should the parent application force a child window to be only in one place?

Try hovering over the edge of the top bar thing (where the window title and close/minimize/maximize buttons are), so the arrow to vertically resize the window appears. Then, click and drag horizontally. Does this let you move the window? I have noticed that OS X Pale Moon windows behave a bit wonky. Another example is how sometimes I try to highlight text (or resize tab groups) and my window gets dragged instead...

That does move the window. I am definitely not used to seeing a resize arrow move a window. That is wonky. If I open a window from an extension button, I just need the cursor on the titlebar.

Yeah, I don't know what's up with it. I'm glad I could help, though. :)

Extra problem. What if the child window is not resizable?
