Dmitry,

After applying the two patches there is a new problem (with Agent 2.0
beta).

I'm using it with maximized mdi windows. If I open another window, it
opens maximized (as it should). Now if I return to the original window,
either by closing the current one (with the X button, or <ctrl>-F4) or
selecting it (<ctrl>-TAB or the Window-menu using <alt>-W,1) the size of
the original window is now <restored> and needs to be maximized again.

Any idea?

Rein.

Looks like MDI code has too much hacks for child activation and switching
between children. There are places when activation messages are sent
manually instead of relying on (de)activation done by the system. That
code needs a major clean up and an overhaul.

I've added that into my task list and when I have a break from more
important work I'll have a look at it. Feel free to beat me with that.
