Application Window - Please fix

[gplumb]

While testing 2024 for a company wide upgrade, I noticed it is now impossible to turn off the application window.

 

Please fix this so i can get my team updated.

 

More than 50% of my team turn it off because it makes it harder to work across multiple open documents and applications and blocks access to the desktop.

Unfortunately, I don't think it is a bug but rather a design decision. So it is unlikely to be changed for VW2024. There have been several other similar comments so it may get traction for a future version.

 

There are ways to hide an application window. On Mac you can either minimize the app or you can hide the app. I believe there are similar functions on Windows.  Learning the shortcuts for those may be your best way forward.

 

But if this is a deal breaker, you will have to stay with VW2023 for now.

Cast my vote (along with 20-odd others here) for correcting this "design decision". This is one of the most irritating things about 2024 (which otherwise seems to have so much improved UI). Sigh.
