In fact I also noticed that a second source editor is not restored

Now I realized the 2nd, 3rd etc. editor windows are project specific,
while other layout settings are global. This is not very logical. How
to solve it?
I think all layout settings should be global for the sake of consistency.

The settings are saved correctly in the environment settings. Try to
save a desktop with 2 editor windows, move something (including the
editor windows) and then load the desktop. Both editor windows are
positioned correctly.
Actually, from the principal point of view, the code is correct.
Editor windows are normal nonmodal windows and so they are
restored/closed on desktop change like any other window. If you stored
a desktop without a secondary editor window, it is closed when you
apply the desktop.
But I see that this is not wanted and expected from the user's point
of view ->
That means secondary editor windows need special treatment in
*TEnvironmentOptions.UseDesktop/TIDEWindowCreatorList.RestoreSimpleLayout*.
It should not change visibility of editor windows. It should only
change their position.
I fixed this in the undocked environment. See the patch. Please
test/comment. The special windows that should not be closed/shown on
desktop change have to be registered in the
*IDEWindowsDontChangeVisibility* list (names of the forms). Currently
only editor windows are added into the list.
Important: if you save a desktop with a secondary editor and use it,
the position of the secondary editor is restored. If you save a
desktop with no secondary editors and you apply the desktop when there
is a secondary editor window visible, it won't change its position.
This is correct behavior.
+ Please don't report bugs like "I created a desktop with no editor
window. But when I apply it, the editor window isn't closed." This is
the requested behavior now (there is no difference between
secondary/primary editor window).

+ Maybe package windows should be treated the same way as editor
windows? They are closed/opened on desktop change as well (the same
problem).
