I've noticed something about window resizing behavior. Here's the
scenario: With other applications already open, play a game that
changes the display resolution. When you quit the game, the resolution
changes back to it's original setting. The other applications' windows
react differently to this change/change-back cycle.
I haven't done exhaustive testing, but here are the three outcomes I
have observed:
1. Windows shrink to fit the lower resolution (Mail, Safari).
a. In some apps, the windows move toward the top left to fit within
the lower-res bounds.
b. In others, the windows seem to move to the top right.
2. Windows expand to maximum size to fit the screen (Excel).
3. Windows remain at their original sizes (BBEdit).
My first reaction is that BBEdit has it right. If I run something,
like a game, that changes the resolution temporarily, I want everything
to return to "normal" when I quit that app. What is the correct
resizing/repositioning action for well-behaved windows for resolution
switches?
