theWord

I love the "local minimize/maximize" feature. It is working well almost everywhere in the program, and it seems to follow a rather intuitive pattern for maximizing, minimizing, and opening and distributing other open windows evenly.

However, today I've just discovered that it is not working correctly in Bible Tree View, at least not on my computer. I click the minimize button especially, and usually nothing at all happens. Sometimes it causes the adjacent windows below it to come up, rather than for Bible Tree Window to move down, but usually it does nothing at all.

For what it is worth, I have the screen layout in three columns: one Bookview on either side and one Bibleview in the center.

In fact, the ordinary maximize/minimize buttons are also missing, as you already know, but I don't know why they should have to be absent.

I would try toggling the Bible tree window, and/or restart theWord.
There are some issues with this advanced feature and was provided as is with no further fixes.

Yes, I restarted TW before posting, just to be safe.

It is not a big deal, of course, but I thought that you guys would like to make a note of it for future reference, as no one else will likely ever mention it.

As Jon said, this feature has issues that are too difficult to fix properly. This is why it is disabled by default.
