Description

When you open Commander, you can't close it. Only restarting QGIS will get rid of it. Might be Windows only. Confirming of http://osdir.com/ml/qgis-user-gis/2015-03/msg00122.html

History

#1 Updated by Nathan Woodrow over 9 years ago

Pressing ESC will close it.

#2 Updated by Corey Burger over 9 years ago

Right, but that isn't obvious. As it also covers up the notification area...

#3 Updated by Nathan Woodrow over 9 years ago

That is true. It really shouldn't be using the message bar for that kind of thing.

#4 Updated by Corey Burger over 9 years ago

I think there are two issues here:
1. Commander is in the wrong place in the UI (it covers the notification bar)
2. Commander doesn't toggle on/off like other toolboxes/windows

Probably should split the two off
