When detaching reader window with unchanged dimensions / position, library view restored "behind" without obvious visual feedback

[danielweck]

... when the reader window dimensions or position is changed, then the library view is restored with the original saved dimensions, so it is usually visible (unless the reader window is larger / overlaps the library view)

So, how could we ensure better visual feedback for this feature?

Re-opening, as the problem persists.

Does someone has an idea to do that ? I really have no idea

[panaC]

i believe that is fixed

Is this issue fixed ? @danielweck

It it true that if a user detaches a reader view, because the library view stays behind this reader view, the user doesn't know that the library view is "there". But there is no good UX for that as :

• if we move the reader view at the time it is detached, the user will feel this move is weird
• if we move the library view "behind" the reader view, it will be like a "glitch" for the user.
• we don't want to add extra buttons to reader view.

So, I propose to keep the UX as it is now, close this issue and wait for feedback and ideas from real users.

I disagree about closing the issue, but I totally agree about not rushing to a design "fix", but instead think more carefully about the "window management" UX (comparing it with established reading systems on desktop platforms, like MacOS Books.app)
