Description Alvin Thompson CLA 2005-08-01 16:07:26 EDT 
i regularly leave the views at the bottom of the screen minimized, and only
activate them when i need them. the problem is that when i'm done with the view,
i have to move my mouse all the way back to the right and click on that tiny
minimize icon (i'm very lazy).

it would be nice to have an option where if you click on a tab for a view that's
already active, the view is minimized again. since the mouse is already in that
area from clicking on the tab in the first place, the distance is much shorter.
plus, you have a much fatter target to hit with the mouse.

Have you tried using fast views? (To turn a view into a fast view, right-click
on its tab and select "Fast View".)
Comment 2 Alvin Thompson CLA 2005-08-09 19:17:37 EDT 
yup, but i like the regular view better.
Comment 3 kgrot CLA 2005-09-20 12:05:47 EDT 
FYI, the "auto-open" behavior suggested in 88239 might solve this problem as well.

There are currently no plans to work on this feature.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
