I was wondering if others lose the following functionality after Detaching a tab.
1) Unable to search code within the detached tab
2) Properties box disappears in original UI while in the detached tab.
3) Properties box doesn't seem to be available with the detached tab
I'm currently running Gambas on a standard build of Ubuntu 16.04. This could be just how Gambas works but wanted to make sure there isn't a special setup or setting that I missed.

Re: Functional losses while using a Detached Tab
Hi Eric
I'm running Ubuntu 18.4 with Gambas 3.12.90 and I can search for text within the code base of detached tabs.
If I detach a GUI form, I can also get the properties dialogue when clicking on a component.
What version of Gambas are you running ?

Re: Functional losses while using a Detached Tab
Hi Quincunxian,
I'm currently at 3.12.2. my steps to repeat is.
I open a form and double click the form to open the code window.
Right click on code window tab and select 'Detach tab'
At this point, the properties in the form disappear and the only way to get the properties window back is to open a 2nd form, which then shows the properties window, then switch back to the 1st from's tab. Every time I click on the detached code windows I have to go through this double tab click to show the properties.
While in the detached code window CTRL-F just doesn't' do anything.
I get the same behavior on 2 other computers and while running in Oracle VM.
I added a screen capture of what it looks like right after detaching the code window. Thanks, Eric.

1. The search box remains with the main window, but will still search the detached window as though it's still attached.Eric wrote: ↑Friday 15th February 2019 5:08pm I was wondering if others lose the following functionality after Detaching a tab.

2. The properties panel is only active (and visible) when a GUI tab is active.
3. If a GUI tab is detached, the properties panel will still be active in the main window while the detached GUI tab is active. If a code tab is detached, and it's (attached) GUI tab is active, the properties panel will be visible (and active) in the main window.

I'm wondering around lost in the past, not knowing where the present is.

Hi Got2BeFee,
Everything you stated above works for me also. .
It does seem the main GUI doesn't show or update the form properties correctly when coming from a detached GUI tab.
Anyways, I personly find this implementation not very useful.
Thanks again for providing the specific details, Eric.
