user info panel UI bug

[aarku]

When you do a: /whois foo , the user info panel pops up. There is a UI bug in that the window that pops up looks like a window, but behaves like a panel. You can't press command-w to close the user info.

If it is supposed to be a window (what I'd prefer), then make it behave like one, please. Otherwise, it should have the smaller panel look in the window bar.

What are you talking about? It closes just fine with Cmd-W. And that *is* a panel look - a panel is simply a window that closes with esc and hides when you bring another app forward (well, that's the simple definition). I think you're talking about a utility window.

What is it that you want it to do? Not close with esc? Not hide when I put Colloquy in the background? Both of those behaviours are perfectly fine with me. In fact, the only oddity I can see is when the whois window is active, the previously-active window gets the still-main-but-not-key look. In other words, the whois window can become key, but not main. I don't know why this is, and it may be worth fixing (or maybe not - it doesn't hurt anything).

My mistake. Must have gotten it screwed up with multiple desktops ala Desktop Manager.... a few times in a row. Sorry.

Okay, I narrowed down the bug.

You have a channel window open, and you get info on a name. The info window pops up as normal. The info window is now in the foreground, and appears that it is in the foreground. At this point, Command-W on the info window works just fine.

Now Command-Tab into another application, like the Finder. Now tab back into Colloquy. The info window appears to be in the foreground, but pressing Command-W will close the channel window instead.

Can you reproduce this?
