Two possible bugs

When using mouse over a fence, the window title behaves abnormal/unexpected

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I am trying out Fences for the first time, but I have found something that looks like bugs to me. So please bear with me, and let's find out :)

I have recorded two screencast videos showing the issues.

 

Issue A:

When using a Folder Portal, the label (title bar) of that fence doesn't respect the setting under "Color & appearance > Show Labels > Never". But it does respect the setting "On mouseover" and "Always". While it's only aesthetical, it matters because it creates an uneven look when using a mix of regular fences and folder portals.

Issue B:

If a regular fence label is empty, it's behavior also disobeys the setting on "Color & appearance > Show Labels > Always". When the label is empty is behaves as if the "On mouseover" was applied. It won't respect the "Always" setting. Video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cWavadzv3wtJvrVu2 

 

Please advice/confirm my findings. Thank you.

 

PS. I love the app so far

Hello,

Issue A: on Folder Portal : My observation is that with Folder Portal you need the title bar to be visible since you will need it to navigate out of a folder. for example. If you link the folder portal to a folder with few sub folder. You will need the title bar to be visible to move out from the sub-folder.

Issue B: When there is no label to display it make sense not to show the label at all. Only the titlebar appear on mouseover for the user to excess the menu and close buttons.

That is my observation and my own reasoning.

Thank you,
