Hello Shmuel,
I had reported this with FM-11 and it was considered duplicate at that
time.
This bug re-appeared several times:
Bug 2959372 during beta testing FM-11: Sub dialogue not working:
File > Preferences > Interface: Autocollaps Iconic Panels
ON is my preferred setting to dismiss the pods automatically.
There is however a severe drawback of this method: If the pod
opens an additional dialogue for entry of values, then the pod
closes and the entry in the subdialogue is lost.
1 Open the paragraph designer with CTRL+m 2).
2 Either you are already in the Basic pane with the New Tab
Stop item selected â or you naviguate to this situation.
3 ENTER does nothing â one needs to move the mouse and
click on the item (although it appears to be selected).
4 Edit Tab Stop dialogue opens.
5 As soon as I start typing in this dialogue, the pod dialogue
disappears.
6 After entering data in Edit Tab Stop and invoking Continue
(click or ENTER) the dilaogue closes.
7 Opening the pargraph designer again does not display the
newly set TAB stop.
In FM-10 the underlying problem ( 2742006 - Sub dialogue is not
accessible with
"Autocollapse Iconic Panels") was 'resolved' as Deferred...
FRMAKER-2031 [not me] Tab stops can not be modified:
=> Fixed in 13.0.3.495
=> re-appears in 13.0.5.547
=> fixed in 14.0.0.361
So hopefully "new features" will not revive this fault perpetually.
