Re: Why does it say pane instead of panel? This is a mistake
Hi,
(For future reference, when the pastebin may no longer be available, the image is of the 'View' menu which refers to the 'Output Pane' etc.)
In the real world, a pane is a section of a window. When showing, the 'Output View' and similar become panes of the main window, so I consider it a reasonable use of the word.
A better question is, why does the menu not call them by their current names e.g. View > Output View, Workspace View...
Regards,
David

Hello DavidGH, I'm sorry for the late reply
What you said is perfectly reasonable, I don't clearly remember why I thought that it was a mistake, maybe I just don't know english that well, thanks for explaining to me what a pane is
