double titlebar.

There was just a discussion about this, but I cannot find it.
I somehow now have a double titlebar in all new stacks. What is the property to lose this? That might tell me how I got into this mess in the first place. It is not any of the decorations.

Hi Craig,
in MY case it was an OS X setting of the DOCK, NOT any LC setting!
I set it to -> Prefer TABS when opening documents -> Manually
(Tranlsated from german, wording may differ a bit.)
Best

Do other Mac apps look like that when they have only one tab?

@Klaus.
The dock pref does nothing for me. Thanks, though.
@Richard. No, only LC stacks
Restarting did not help.
Attached is a screenshot of the titlebar of a new stack. Interestingly, any recent stack I made after this first appeared last week has inherited double vision. Some stacks older than that remain normal. Others do not

Well, it turns out, and I discovered this by accident, that setting the "resizable" of a stack automatically duplicates the titleBar. Clearing it makes it go away.

Feature or bug?

Whether a window can be resized bears no relationship to whether multiple documents should be displayed in a tabbed single window.
If the Dock setting that addresses this for most people is not affecting this for you, it can only be a bug.
Moreover, even the Dock setting should not affect the rendering of a window that has only a single document in it. I haven't read the HIG on this, but tabbed UIs generally don't show a full-width tab when a window has only one tab present. So it would be helpful to know if a bug report has been submitted for the most commonly seen issue (the Dock setting), requesting refinement to conform to normal macOS behavior.
