Spyder reduces window when exploring variable #12047

Closed Colin-Gnt closed 4 years ago

Colin-Gnt commented 4 years ago

Problem Description

When I click on a variable in the variable explorer in Spyder, it creates the tab with the variable but reduces the window. So I need to re-expand it every time I want to explore a new variable.

What steps reproduce the problem?

On my cumputer's Spyder

  1. crate any variable (numpy.array for example)
  2. click on the variable in the varable explorer pan
  3. observe the reduced window with the new variable tab

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The main window without a change in size with the new tab.

I'm sorry but this is an issue with the way macOS handles different windows of the same program. So I doubt we can do something about it.

@goanpeca, what do you think?

I had some other UI issues (#11846) with the new version of spyder (4.1). But I don't want to downgrade it yet because it causes issues with the kernel when running a code. But I can try to downgrade it later see if the bug still appear because I don't remember having this issue before.

I can take a look

Closing for now because we don't have time to take a look at this, sorry.
