This problem has arisen earlier with suggested solution Cmd-Shift-t & return to make second title bar disappear. It also goes away when "resize" option is off.

All of my stack windows are showing double title bars and, despite trying a number of things, I simply can't turn it off.

Any help welcome!

I had thought this was addressed recently. Which version are you using?

Very queer indeed. I've worked my way from RunRev 1.1.1 to
LC 9 on Macintosh computers and never seen a double menu bar.

It started when Finder/MacOS introduced tabbed windows.

The tabs could be quite useful on occasions if I could easily turn it off and on ... multiple stacks in one window and script editor in one tab and stack proper in another. But not being able to turn off the tab feature is a right pain at the moment.

I'm using LC 9.0.1 RC 1 (on Mac)

This is a seting of the macOS system settings: Dock
In the popup "When opening documents prefer tabs..." (translated from german OS)
select "Manual" or "Only in fullscreen" and the TABS should disappear.

Thanks suggestions but none of them work. Seriously ... is there a way that I can make the second title bar go away? It's proving to be a real problem now as every new stack has two bars.

Hi.

I would contact QCC right away.

But I often find issues that nobody else has ever seen. This seems to be the case here as well. It will be interesting to see if the team can reproduce...

I had this problem, too, some months ago, but the DOCK setting described above cured this inconvenience.

There are workarounds, but IIFC this should only happen in apps that support tabbed windows. If LiveCode does not it should be able to notify the OS of that, and this behavior will no longer risk confusing end users.

Anyone here know the bug report number for this?

Hi all,

There is a report about this issue:

It seems on High Sierra you can no longer use cmd+Shift+T to show/hide the double title bar.

Best,

LC Indy 9.5.1 is now doing this for me. In a compiled app, it shows the 2 bars also. Besides that, another thing that is annoying is that it has numbers in parentheses followed by an asterisk. So, there are 2 tab bars that have
DDx (1)*. But the number changes with each card that is being viewed.

The error showed up after I was exploring LC menus. I selected "Show Tab Bar" from the View menu expecting to be able to toggle that off again and hide whatever the Tab Menu turned out to be. But, that "Hide Tab Menu" is not a choice. It just isn't there and now I am stuck with every card, both in the IDE as well as for compiled apps on the Mac showing 2 tab bars or title bars or whatever it is called.

I am downloading 9.6.0 so maybe that will clear it all up.

This is one I had a lot of trouble with, but then found a simple way out of it!

The Menu command to hide the Tab Bar does show up very occasionally, but most of the time it is hidden, so I added a shortcut in the macOS Keyboard Preferences, now if I add the Tab Bar by mistake I can just type my custom shortcut and it disappears again.

The menu item is: and the shortcut I used is: Shift Alt Cmd \ You can probably change that if you want, but try to avoid any already used key combinations.

I opened this topic in January with:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=33540&p=187093&hilit=double#p187093
Nothing to do with dock settings or anything else. And most oddly, it simply started happening last year, out of the blue.

EDIT: To reiterate, as I mentioned in the other thread (above), finally somebody else has this syndrome. And no other app shows the same symptoms; It has to be a LC thing,

Apple changed the system window prefs when it started happening. I've never seen it but there's a toggle somewhere to turn it off.
