[Gambas-user] DesktopWindow.Name; Unexpected result

Sat Jun 17 12:19:53 CEST 2017

Sorry but I do not understand the difference;
>From Gambas documentation on DesktopWindow.VisibleName (gb.desktop):
Returns the window visible name, i.e. the window title as displayed by the
window manager.
The visible name may be different from the name, when two or more windows
have the same name.

Then I did three different applications with a window of the same name
(FOO) I launched, and then I launched a fourth (Write) with this code.
I do not know differences in output.

Regards
Gianluigi
