[5.40LTS] OpenFileRequester title missing

I've noticed that when I use the
Code: Select all
Filename$ = OpenFileRequester(Title$, DefaultFile$, Pattern$, PatternPosition [, Flags])
I don't see the Title$ in the input window and I have 'New Folder' button at the bottom left of the window. If you select the file you're interested in and hit the 'Open' button the file name is returned correctly. I guess the whole title area above the 'Options Bar' is missing.
The SaveFileRequester() seems to be ok.

Confirm that OpenFileRequester() works correctly on Windows OS (Win7 x86, PB5.41 B1)

Title appears to be shown OK running under Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 x86, 5.40LTS. Maybe a problem for later OS or x64?
I've only got that one OSX system - needs further checks.

Could not confirm on 10.10.5, works fine on both x86 and x64 version.

@thinksimple
Thanks for your input and I see that you posted it in the MacOS forum a week or so ago.
I was admonished, recently, by Fred that bugs had to be in the bugs section.
I have to admit I never thought to look for your report in the MacOS forum.

Next time i will post such things in the bug forum.
But before it is confirmed by another user, i thought it was a good place to post in the os x forum.

Hey, Michael, I'm with you! It's possible to post something that you just overlooked and isn't a bug at all! I wonder that every time until someone else posts an affirmation (and I thank you for that). Some time ago a bug was posted and several people affirmed the bug and Fred got somewhat miffed that so many were chiming in. Well, anyway, Fred said he didn't read any other forum (other than the bugs forum) when it came time to fix the bugs. Interesting fact...

Just to be sure that my bug is also noticed by Fred:
It is not just the OpenFileRequester, the PathRequester has the same problem.

I think is not a bug, it´s normal on El Capitan.
All Apps don´t have a FileOpen titel...

I suppose it is not a bug but a change in El Capitan that will have to be addressed if we want the title back.

It could be a choice Apple made or an OSX 10.11 bug.
The message property of a NSOpenPanel is still available to communicate some kind of message but unfortunately PB doesn't support this.

It seems a genuine change in OS X 10.11, so we can't workaround it. I just tried the 'message' property, but it does not look very good. I think we will have to live with this !

Well, so now we don't have titles in the OpenFileRequester. I really used the titles to instruct what to load and now I am left guessing (when I have a series of files to load). I looked at TextEdit and, sure enough, the titles are gone.
I'm wondering how to give the information that should be in the OpenFileRequester? Am I going to have to use a MessageRequester just before the OpenFileRequester just to give instructions.
I really don't see any way around the situation but I'd like to hear any suggestions.
