Bob - I just caused total mayhem in MC while testing a New Version of my TrackInfo Plugin:-

I used the Detach Display Panel Option which gave me  FullScreen Detached DP as the only window/screen.
But when I tried the Reattach Option MC, and/or the OS, went biserk:-
Instead of getting a single window, the one that I had used the Detach option on, I ended up with 2 Windows, the Detached Panel Window and the one I expected to see after the panel had been reattached. With Mc or the OS rapidly switching between the 2 windows, I finally got it to stop jumping between the 2 windows by clicking on one of them.
Thankfully I had clicked on the window that should have been the one the panel had been reattached to but although the Cover Art was showing in the display panel in the Tree it was telling me the "Window was owned by another view". I Then tried using the Skins Clloe Button to quit MC but it didn't work, nor dd clicking on the other buttons or the Menu work.

So I ended up having to use the Dock Quit Option to close MC Down.

On restating MC an Apple Error Form Popped up - with this report:-

What is the detach display panel option? In MC?
The display view menu detach?

I think there are likely still issues with that.
On Windows and linux that window becomes a child of the root window. Unfortunately that's not an option on MacOS so it's like an orphan while it's detached.

What is the detach display panel option? In MC?

Bob it's on the Pop-Up Menu that appears when user right-clicks in the Display Panel in every view/sub-view, including when the Display Panel in the Tree is open; it's also invoked by using the "ctrl/cmd + 6" Shortcut.
With both the menu option and shortcut switching to being the "Reattach Panel"  option/command when the panel is in it's detached state.

Since overcoming the cranky way some Apple OS's work it may be easier/safer/quicker to remove the ability to Detach/Reattach the Display Panel options from Mac versions of MC
