1301: How to minimize ribbon

[Paolo F Cantoni]

The help says to right-click on the Ribbon bar to minimize the ribbon (via the 'Minimize the Ribbon' option), but right-click has no effect nor shows up any items.

Is it supposed to be available in 1301?

Yes, it is.
I think you can also double-click on a ribbon tab to minimize the ribbon

Nothing happens for me (I restarted EA also).
Double-clicking on "Construct" for example should minimize the ribbon?

Can someone confirm it works for them.

I managed to get it minimized after some clicking around. It was as intuitive as most things in EA. Sorry, but I fell back to V12 since I can't find anything in V13 ribbons.

P.S. Right click in the "menu position", e.g. in the text "Extend" on top.

Yes, that's how it works for me. I have visual style Office XP if that matters at all.

Qwerty! Your fall back to V12 is not a sustainable solution (I belief)! I assume you have to life with ribbon sooner or later, or you have to vote yourself for a qwexit.

After starting working with V13 I am pretty sure that the day will come when I am as productive as with V12, but I do not belief to get even more productiveness by ribbon anyway.

So for me it is just having the same thing just at other places with neither significant benefits nor disadvantages (except transition). For Sparx it is may be a marketing issue.
Instead of doing the same thing over and over again, from my point of view having in each EA release a bit more consistency and quality would give me real benefit.

It's just that old man moaning that in the past everything was better...

Well, it wasn't. But when I see people permanently throwing obstacles in my way I start howling louder.

OK... For all you EAUI fans, here's how it works for me.  I did a reboot - just to make sure there wasn't any other influences.

The right-click doesn't seem to do anything in the ribbon area, however, I CAN minimize the ribbon by double-clicking the current ribbon tab - as qwerty says: in the "menu position".  If you double-click any other tab, it just moves to that tab (which is fair enough).

Anybody have any ideas why the right mouse button isn't working - in the ribbon?  It seems to be working elsewhere.

Oh and I have no problems right clicking on the ribbon and getting the minimize option.  If it's not working try right clicking on one of the tabs not one of the buttons.

I already did.. No joy.
With the ribbon minimised:
right-click works above the ribbon tab area (the ribbon tabs replace the old menus) in the window caption area
works below that area in the tool bar area
but NOT in the ribbon tab area.
With the ribbon maximised, right-click also doesn't work in  the ribbon area.

What are you Visual Style settings?  I'll change to those and see what happens.

You show me yours (which seem to work) and I'll show you mine!
