Description Andrew Eidsness CLA 2004-04-26 11:01:19 EDT 
This is a bug for a specific work item described in bug 59850.

View tabs need a 2.1 style drop down menu.
Comment 1 Andrew Eidsness CLA 2004-04-28 09:48:03 EDT 
After looking into this I realized that in 2.1 it was the view title bar, not 
the view tab that had the drop down menu.  I'm guessing (perhaps hoping) that 
will come for free when the view title bar work (bug 59948) has been completed.  
I'm leaving this open for now, but changing the title.
Comment 2 Andrew Eidsness CLA 2004-05-04 08:27:08 EDT 
With ed's latest submission for 59948, the dropdown is nearly the same as 2.1.  
The only differences I see are:
    - 2.1 didn't have a minimize option
    - 2.1 had a dropdown for the tab group title bar, but not for individual 
tabs

There will be work either way (e.g., currently some draw 
problems in minimized view), so we should decide which behaviour is preferable.
Comment 3 Ed Burnette CLA 2004-05-04 10:39:48 EDT 
I believe the R21 presentation should inherit R3 functionality unless there's 
a good usability or technical reason not to. Less training, doc, code, etc.. 
So I vote to leave it in and mark this closed.

My secret agenda is that the R21 presentation will be merged back into the 
mainline before R3 production. Uh oh, guess it's not a secret any more :).
Comment 4 Andrew Eidsness CLA 2004-05-04 11:03:12 EDT 
Since it would be more work to remove the option (both in development now, and 
in training, support, etc. later) lets leave the minimized option in the drop 
down.

I've added a note to bug 59948 for the "draw while minimized" problems.
