Looking at this report got me really confused. Mostly about the wording
(it isn't easy to don't know [american] english). I'm not sure if this
reporter wants MDI instead of SDI behaviour actually.
Whatever, I can add that the Win32 port behaves differently from using
its context menu or the "apparent" keyboard equivalents. The kbd. eq. for
close app (and since windows is a one-[frame]-window-one-app OS this is
an issue) is Alt + F4 as it should be. But the problem is that the System
Menu that displays when you right-click on an AbiWord window on the
taskbar when more than one abiword window is open, WITHIN THE SAME
PROCESS, is displaying Alt+F4 as just "Close" [window]. If you on the
other hand use displayed keyboard shortcut Alt+F4 you get to close that
AbiWord Process. What should we do? (BeOS won't ever have this problem
since they from the beginning gave the notion of "one app can have many
'frame' windows'", lucky Be).
Should this behaviour be added as another "bug"? Should I after twenty
minutes then fix this "bug" to get credits for it, or should I fix it
right away, or should we look toward patching the "system meny" that
displays that (in our case) wrong message? I'd vote for the last
resolution.
