I'm running v.8 on Windows, and I'm not happy with the way various windows
behave, but I can't figure out a way to change the aspects of the windowing
behavior that I don't like. Generally, what I would like would be the
capacity to make a window "be on top." That is, I normally have the review
and variable windows on the left, and the results window on the right.
Often, I might like to enlarge the size of the font in the results window,
and drag the results window over to the left so that all of the results
window is visible. However, as I do this, the lefthand side of the results
window "goes underneath" the review and variables windows and becomes
invisible. I would think I could solve this with a window preference like
"Results window always on top," or "cascade windows." I also am frustrated
with similar problems with 1) the viewer window; and 2) with the dialogue
boxes that come up under the Statistics menu: they both end up with the
review and variables windows covering the lefthand side of the window of
interest.
How do other folks manage these issues? All I can think to do is to keep
the variables and review windows closed except as needed. Perhaps there are
other approaches to using the windows?
The irony about this is that I was for many years a generalized anti-GUI
fanatic and have now come to be something of a convert.
