Fullscreen mode doesn't restore windows well

#1

I noticed several glitches in Fullscreen mode in Sublime Text on Mac.

My Setup:
macOS 14.5.1
Sublime Text 4169

Also I have several workspaces, for example, 3 workspaces if it helps to understand a problem.

Glitches are:

Closing and reopening several merged windows.

  1. Open several windows in Sublime Text. ( I usually have a group of 5 windows )
  2. Merge all windows.

These windows become tabs in one window.

  1. Enter fullscreen Mode.
  2. Close Sublime Text from macOS Dock.
  3. Reopen Sublime Text.

Now all windows scattered between several workspaces.

Closing and reopening several merged windows and search bar.

  1. Open several windows in Sublime Text. ( I usually have a group of 5 windows )
  2. Merge all windows.
  3. Enter fullscreen Mode.

Open another window.
Open search bar in it.

Now Merge all windows again.

This window become a part of whole group of 5. ( Now I have 6 windows ).

But SublimeText somehow resizes other windows.

For example, if new window is “A”, and leading window in group is “B”, then a size of window “B” is cropped by “search bar”.
So, instead of fullscreen window “B” is nearly fullscreen with some black space to the bottom.

You could checkout latest dev build to verify the issue still exists and report an issue at https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues.
