Tasks and Errors box won't hide automatically
 
Hi all,

said it all in the title actually but to expand a little, I have several
accounts checked when I click on Send/Recv and, until recently, when all had
been checked the Tasks and Errors box would automatically hide (assuming no
errors). Now it doesn't and I wished it still did, pathetic I know but I
like things to stay the same.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, this is an
annoyance for me as well. The trick is to click on the Hide button before
the window closes by itself. You'll need to be fast on the draw.

Ted,

Are you thinking that the Hide button toggles the pushpin?
That would be a neat idea especially if it would do it while Details
are hidden but I don't think that that is what is does.
AFAIK all the Hide button does is close the Status window
--exactly the same effect that pressing Esc on that window has.


FYI

Right you are - and that's what I thought the OP was referring to. I'm sorry
if I misunderstood the original question.
