Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect, P5)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0
Build ID: 20160411042519

Steps to reproduce:

I am trying to open a window with Services.ww.openWindow such that the window does not change with the space.

To do this we have to do it like this:

> This sounds like either NSWindowCollectionBehaviorCanJoinAllSpaces or NSWindowCollectionBehaviorStationary. Set it as the collectionBehavior of the window.
>
> (You probably want to set the window level, too, but that's about ordering rather than collection/Spaces behavior. And if you have a Window menu, then you probably also want NSWindowCollectionBehaviorIgnoresCycle.)

I tried all the window features listed here - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open#Position_and_size_features

But none of them are working. Even alwaysRaised dos not.

I tried using js-ctypes and setCollectionBehavior on NSWindow however by the time the window opesn with Services.ww.openWindow, it is too late to call setCollectionBehavior. This was explained here - http://stackoverflow.com/q/31866399/1828637



Expected results:

Please enable someway we can set collection behavior.

Actually it does seem possible with this code:

I'm not sure if it's perfect but its working.

Marking resolved, invalid (as fix not needed) but maybe might re-open if its not possible to open a window into the user active workspace.
