Fix bad interaction with never opening window + terminate on last window #1260

Closed ychin closed 2 years ago

ychin commented 2 years ago

Previously, if you configure MacVim to never open an untitled window on launch, and terminate MacVim on last window closing, you could get an odd behavior where MacVim will close itself soon after launch, usually when you fiddle with "About MacVim" or the preference pane. This isn't too big a deal but could potentially make it hard to change the preference back, and it's hard to know if a future macOS update will further break this behavior causing MacVim to keep terminating itself on launch (the termination behavior relies on the applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed API which is controlled by the OS).

To fix this, simply make it so that the preference pane doesn't allow both settings to be set at once. If the user is trying to do so, set the other setting to be something sane. Also, in the applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed behavior, make sure we add additional protection so that it will not return true when we are set to never open untitled window (this should only be the case if the user manually set it using defaults because we are now already protecting against this in the preference pane logic). This should be fine because these two setting don't really make sense for the user anyway. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense for the user to want this behavior.

Note that I'm doing manual checking in preference UI instead of using some sort of key-value listening of NSUserDefaults because I'm afraid of some unintentional infinite recursion going on where the settings keep setting each other back and forth. By only doing this at preference pane changes this should not happen.
