Windows Minimising/Maximising unexpectedly

Steps causing the bug to occur

  1. Run composition from this thread: https://community.vuo.org/t/-/6295
  2. Exit fullscreen
  3. Click up and down buttons multiple times.
  4. Output window keeps Minimising/Maximising randomly and unexpectedly.
  5. Same thing for me on two OS’s and two different MBP’s, 2012 OS 10.12 (GT650) and 2015 OS10.14 (Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB).

Other notes

  • Vuo version: 1.2.8
  • macOS version: macOS 10.14

I have not got any ‘special window manager installed’.

OK I sussed it out. It’s not when I single click the buttons it’s when I double click anywhere in the window.
Deselecting ‘Double click a windows title bar’ in Dock Preferences stops it from happenning.
…but it happens when I click anywhere in the window :/

Is anyone else seeing this problem? So far we haven’t been able to reproduce it. I’m wondering what’s different.

@Scratchpole, does it happen on other compositions or only this one?

It happens when I use Change Fullscreen Status in any composition.

I see what Joe means, using the Fullscreen Status node, when manually gone OUT of fullscreen mode, double-clicking anywhere on the window maximise the window, like it should do only when double-clicking the window bar. Disconnecting the node fixes it.

None of us on Team Vuo have been able to reproduce this using multiple macOS versions, including 10.14. Possibly if one of you could make a screen recording similar to BSS’s, but encompassing all the steps from Run, that could help.

Thanks for the new video. We were able to figure out that this is an apparent macOS 10.14 bug where, when ‘System Preferences > Dock > Double-click on a window’s title bar to [minimize/zoom]’ is enabled and ‘System Preferences > Mission Control > Displays have separate Spaces’ is disabled, un-fullscreening a window then double-clicking on it causes it to minimize/zoom.

Sorry to have found such a silly little thing.
It happens in 10.12 also, but I doubt that matters a jot.

I don’t think it’s silly. Thanks for taking the time to make things better for everyone in the community!

Implemented in Vuo 2.0 beta.
