Hello:
I just had a very annoying experience with the lake of sufficient window management tools on Mac OS X. (Annoying enough to write this mail...)
The following happened:
At home I have a external screen attached to my mac book, it is configured to be a secondary screen positioned above the main (internal) screen.
The Pharo window was moved to that screen.
In the office, I have another configuration, and there was no way to get hold of the Pharo window anymore.
It remembered its positioning and was just of screen. Expose allows me to see it, and shows even a beautiful animation moving it out of reach after clicking on it.
Obviously the menu SqueakVM > Quit is not really helpful, since the question whether to save or not is displayed unreachable off screen, too.
I am not sure whether the standard OS X window menu functionality with "minimize" and "zoom" would help here, but might be a start. On the other hand, I would guess, that the OSX windowing systems sends some events which could be handled like all other windows do.
The only workaround for the moment, is to have a external screen and fiddle with the screen configuration and positioning until I can get hold of the window... Not exactly convenient.
Best regards
Stefan
