I've been testing the preview version for the past two days, and it works great overall. Once again, thank you so much for creating this marvelous program!

I did run into a few minor issues, but I'm not sure if they're actionable or worth opening an issue for. If you think I should open issues for any of them, please let me know.

1. Some games, especially when exiting, display a confirmation dialog asking if you really want to quit. In the preview version of Magpie, the scaled game window remains topmost and continues to be scaled, which causes the confirmation dialog to appear behind it for some reason. As a result, we are left with a game window that cannot be interacted with because the hidden modal is blocking all the mouse input. For some reason, manually bringing the game window into view again by using Alt+Tab does fix the issue.

   For reference, in Magpie v0.11.2, scaling stops for the main window and switches to the newly opened modal instead, so we don't have this issue. That causes us to see a giant confirmation dialog instead, but at least we can interact with it.

2. I feel like having the Initial toolbar state as a game profile setting that can be set separately for fullscreen and windowed scaling would be nice. As per your suggestion, I want to keep the toolbar closed for fullscreen scaling in games where I use the aforementioned overlay, but I want to set its behavior to Auto-hide for windowed scaling.

3. It would be really great to have a dedicated button on the toolbar that lets us toggle between fullscreen and windowed scaling. For some reason, my first impression whenever I see the Stop scaling button is that it switches between these two modes, and the Close toolbar button feels like the one that actually stops scaling. Whenever I realize it doesn't work like that, I feel a little bit bummed out.

4. Interacting with the title bar buttons of some games while the game is scaled causes submenu items to be displayed with a huge offset. See the image below:
   
   I don't believe this behavior was introduced with the preview version, I've just included it while I am at it.

I assume the lack of response means there's no point in opening separate issues for the problems I've mentioned, either because (a) they're not actionable or (b) @Blinue already knew about them. Is that correct?

[Blinue]

Thank you for the feedback, I’m already aware of these issues. I’m currently occupied with other tasks, but I’ll address them once those are complete. Resolving the second issue will likely require significant changes.

You are a genius. I hope your software will become better and better. I will support you.

[Blinue]

I’ve fixed the first three issues. The fourth one is a limitation of the current implementation, and I don’t believe there’s a non-intrusive way to resolve it.

来个擅长表达的帮他吧，我感觉我不会说中文了已经。
#1189

很反对当前自动填入标题的UX实现方式。

在文本框上右键菜单中有自动填充绝对是用户最不可能想到的交互方式。我提 #1194 的时候实际上已经更新过 Preview 了，但在 issue 被 close 加上在此之后再次看了一眼 changelog 之前，我从来没注意到此功能已经加入。

推荐调整此方案，使得其显式地对用户呈现。

确实藏得有点深，但这个文字太长不好做成按钮，尤其是俄语

[smallg0at]

其实还好，如果使用简单粗暴的方法（文本框下面摆两个全宽按钮），宽度应当是刚好足够的。

这个版本帧率显示功能怎么没了？是不是BUG

集成在工具栏里了
