Hello,

In the past week or so, gschem updates came with some new features,
first 'Find text' and 'Status' tabbed window at the bottom (several days
ago), followed by what appear to be an Object and Text attribute side
bar to the right (yesterday).

My question: is there a simple short cut or command to minimize or
disable these new windows? Or did I overlook something?
The only way I found is to drag the borders to the edge of the main
window until the bottom or window has disappeared; I can find no menu
items for toggling visibility of these windows.


There also appears to be a bug associated with the new right side bar
(gschem becomes unresponsive after maximizing the main window), but I
already filed a bug report
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/geda/+bug/1485199), and found a workaround
for this, so these issues need not te be addressed here.

For those who also stumbled upon this bug: scrolling the mouse wheel and
then making the right side bar invisible by dragging its border to the
right will fix this behaviour. After this, gschem works fine, including
the right side bar.

Best regards,

Richard Rasker
