Most of the time when my app is being
actively used by the user it is not actually the active app. The UI
in question feels a lot like a Dock icon or a menu bar status item,
both of which, I would note, do not cause the active app to hide when
they are option-clicked. So unless I have to just completely swear
off using option-clicks in my app, which seems silly, I need a fix
for this.
I can assure you that users will not want the standard option-
click behavior when using my app. In fact, it has already been
reported to me as a bug, which is what prompted the inquiry in the
first place. It makes no more sense with my app than it would with
the Dock.
But it does do it with the Dock. Try it.
Sigh. Well, I did try it, twice, before I sent my last email, and
it didn't. Now it does. Whatever; bad example, obviously. Let's go
with the status item instead.
If I could perhaps be extended the benefit of the doubt regarding
my competence and motives, the question remains. Anybody got an answer?
