there I am with 3 rows of windows in Acme

The top one is too small and the middle one I've lost interest in

I close the middle one expecting it to reveal more of the top window but
instead the one at the bottom gets bigger and I have the same obscured
view. So I close the middle one again, if there are a few windows I
might end up doing it to them all.

My conceptual view of how 3 pieces of paper stack on top of each other
is mis-represented by the interface.


It's like trying to put a can of pop back in a gravity fed dispenser.

maybe it's someone's way of getting me to close my windows more often
