About Box does not provide a mechanism to dismiss it on MacOC Catalina #3675

Closed AndyDoddington closed 6 months ago

AndyDoddington commented 4 years ago

Current Behaviour

Click on the ‘About Fritzing’ menu item and the About box pops up, as expected. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a way of dismissing the window, apart from terminating the entire application, using Command-Q (I am running on MacOS).

Note that the box appears on an entirely black screen, rather than in front of the previous window, as is expected.

Normally, on MacOS, a dialog should include a red button in the top left-hand corner, which allows the user to close the window (see later).

Build:

Version 0.9.4 (CD-498-0-a1ffcea 2019-12-01) Cocoa [Qt 5.13.2]

Operating System:

MacOS 10.15.4 Catalina.

Steps to reproduce:

Select the 'About Fritzing' option from the 'Fritizing' menu.

Expected Behaviour

See the About box for the MacOS Safari browse, below:

This does not seem to affect later versions. Tested a dev build on Monterey. I think we would have noticed during testing for the 1.0.0 release or later. There are no releases planned for Catalina anymore.
