Would it be possible to simlpy not auto-hide that window when a project file is opened?</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps even an OS or qt version test (QT_MAC_USE_COCOA?) could cause this to be skipped. I'm hoping that the tabbed interface idea that Tim mentioned will come about. That may be the cure-all that can overcome some of the general awkwardness of the current setup.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>John<br><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; font-size:medium;">"John C.

I was able to open several other project files without crashing, but a new and more serious issue has arisen. Now, opening the a project brings a map composer window to the screen as well as the canvas. This composer window cannot be minimized or closed. Worse, it causes Mac OS X Finder, Dock, and Spaces to all cease functioning. Essentially, it paralyzes the OS X gui. Quitting qgis does not fix this. The only solution I have found is to logout and log back in to restore gui functionality.<br><br>I should add that I am using qt-4.6-beta, so it would be great if another Mac user with a more conservative qt environment could test this and see if it happens for them. The key is having an existing qgis project.<br><br>Beyond that, I do not have much information to provide that may help uncover this.
