Green zoom button button doesn't have native 'option' modifier functionality

Yannick

It's quite surprising because I have the same version as you, and it works as you described: a single click zooms to full screen, and click+alt zooms to the edges of the screen.

Could you try again after a restart?

Yannick Huh, yep it definitely works now. No idea what was causing it to not work before. Definitely works now!

I've quit and re-opened Orion multiple times since originally posting this, and I'm not sure if there was a new version automatically updated during that time, so I can't say what has caused the behaviour to change unfortunately.

Yannick

usizu The important thing is that it works 🙂
I'll close the ticket for now and you can come back if it happens again, ok?

transambient

usizu That's exactly true in my case as well. I've wanted to report this issue, but found that there is a post decribing it. I like Orion but the absence of green button + option key functionality is really annoyning.

usizu

transambient Well it appears to have been resolved for me, though I have no idea what caused it!

This also happens for me. I am on Version 0.99.130.2-beta (WebKit 621.1.2.111.4)

Which version are you using @usizu ?

usizu

eskidostlar

Strange, I'm on the same version: Version 0.99.130.2-beta (WebKit 621.1.2.111.4)

However it definitely no longer happens for me. I'm on Sonoma 14.6.1 and am quite sure I haven't installed any system update since posting this issue either.

usizu Maybe the OS is the problem? I am on macOS 15.2 (24C101)

usizu

eskidostlar Maybe but it doesn't explain how the issue got resolved for me

@Yannick I see that you have added the nofix label to this issue, do I need to open a new issue to get this moving forward?

Here's a video demonstrating the issue.

Yannick

eskidostlar no, no, I'm watching and I'll go back if necessary 🙂

eskidostlar can you please compare this with Safari?

LoganDark

I don't know if this ever worked for me but it's definitely broken as of both 0.99.130.2-beta and 0.99.130.3.1-rc on macOS 15.2

This has been bugging me for months.

Double-clicking on the Window's title bar Fills (or Zooms, or Minimizes if that's your system-wide setting), so the correct behaviour is observable.

@dino I've checked Safari and it works as expected. Every app other than Orion does, it's standard functionality:

MysticMiyagi unfortunately we are unable to reproduce that, as it's behaving same for us. Can you help us with sharing a comparision video between both Safari and Orion please?

MysticMiyagi

@dino try again with the Compact and Vertical tab layouts.

dino

MysticMiyagi ok got that. the issue is to not respecting maximise action, even when pressing option key and the green button is turned to +
