I've noticed over the last several versions of -gretl- that I can no longer
activate the drop-down menus in the results output window. I can fix it by
clicking on the 'Windows' menu and then selecting 'Arrange', which sends
all the windows to the north-west of my screen, but this is a bug, isn't it?
Can you describe what you're seeing in a bit more detail, please?
Here's what I'm seeing:
1. Open a built-in data file, e.g. data 4-10 from Ramanathan.
2. Go to the model menu and Estimate a model (e.g. OLS with ENROLL as
dependent, CATHOL, PUPIL and WHITE as independent).
3. The model output window appears. I move the mouse pointer into that
window, and click on (say) "Analysis": the Analysis menu drops down.
If step 3 is not working for you, that's probably because the model
window is not acquiring "focus" when you move the mouse pointer into
it. That's a matter of Desktop policy (not gretl policy). Depending on
Desktop options you might have to click on the model window to give it
focus.
Or is this not what you're talking about?
