If I quit from Eclipse while in full screen (OS X Lion feature), the next time I reopen Eclipse it doesn't load in full screen mode, it loads in window mode but the window is maximized. -- Configuration Details -- Product: Eclipse 1.5.2.20130110-1126 (org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product) Installed Features: org.eclipse.platform 4.2.1.v20130118-173121-9MF7GHYdG0B5kx4E_SkfZV-1mNjVATf67ZAb7
I think we need to push the full-screen support into the MinMax support so that it's recorded into the model.
We remember the current state of the shell on shutdown by adding one of two tags; "shellMaximized" or 'shellMinimized'. On rendering we check the tags and call the appropriate SWT Shell method. When you say 'full screen mode' are you talking about something different ?
I talk about the two little arrows on the top-right area of the window, the ones the let OS X apps go full screen with OS' APIs (as explained here https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/General/Conceptual/MOSXAppProgrammingGuide/FullScreenApp/FullScreenApp.html). I'm honestly not using Eclipse from a while so I don't know if this issue is always there.
Eric - OSX (and others) support a full-screen mode where a shell is resized to the full-screen with no trim. This is typically done either through a keyboard command or by clicking on a special double-arrow item that appears in the shell toolbar. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11359 I added full-screen support in 4.2 (bug 376394 and bug 378332). I initially saved the state into the model as a tag "FullScreen", but had to back it out as we had no hooks for when the user triggered the OSX double-arrow tool item and so the state would get out of sync. It looks like we should now be able get notification of user-initiated full-screen changes (bug 378332). So we should be able to bring the model-based support back.
Interesting, I'd like to see how this compares to the 'full screen' mode that I'm currently implementing (see bug 427999 for details)...
We have the same issue. Our application works in full screen mode but the application doesn't remember this. As a workaround we manually set the mode for all windows stored in the application model.
Created attachment 282149 [details] Video demonstrating the issue Happy to convert this to another format if preferred...
Hi! I've wanted this feature ever since we could make Eclipse go full screen. It looked like there was movement on it a few years ago, which was encouraging at the time. I don't think I'm the right person to code a fix for it, but I'm VERY WILLING to test. I run Eclipse on several different Macs, and I have no problem reporting back with more video recordings, if needed. Hopefully the attached video gives you some kind of idea of what Manfredi and I are seeing. Other macOS apps that are closed while in fullscreen reopen back in fullscreen. We'd just like Eclipse to do that too. Thanks, -Brian
