My experience with the 0.9.30.4 and trunk versions suggests that docking
will be discontinued in Lazarus?
The LCL, IDE and Win32 widgetset contain code that breaks Delphi
compatible drag-dock deliberately, for no obvious reason or benefit. It
looks to me as if none of the core developers understands the
implementation and use of dragging in general and drag-dock in detail.
Postponing required fixes to rev. 0.99 will make it almost impossible to
support a dockable IDE any more, due to the many breaks in the current
IDE code.
While a dockable IDE can be achieved in 0.9.30.4 with a few simple
patches, I could not find out what breaks docking in the trunk IDE at
all - the dockable IDE windows simply disappear, including the source
editors and messages windows :-(
Can we agree to make the IDE dockable again *now*, or should I stop
waiting for another usable IDE?
