FWIW, I have tried to reproduce this, with the following results, with BibDesk
1.8.2 (5548) on both systems.
macOS 10.13.6:
- double-clicking title bar makes the main window “full size”, but without
hiding the menu bar
- I see other behavior reported by the OP, but intermittently. In
particular, sometimes, the cursor
looks like a one-way arrow (at the borders), and when in that happens,
sometimes it only moves the
window edge one way, sometimes both ways.
macOS 10.15.7:
- double-clicking title bar has no effect.
- Other reported behavior not seen.
- clicking the maximize button (upper left, right end) maximizes as expected.
- when maximized, window can’t be adjusted; i have to “de-maximize” with
maximize button first.
