First, the good news With the same @string as above, I was able to drag the body and tabs panes to the new positions that you want.The attached image Leo version is with 6.3-devel, but I got the same results with 6.2-final. This is on Windows, BTW.
The bad news is that this arrangement seems to be unstable and hard to get in the first place. I could only get it after repeated dragging and closing/reopening the outline. Even then, if I restarted Leo, sometimes it lost the arrangement and I had to reopen the outline several times and drag before I could restore the arrangement I wanted. But eventually, it seemed to become more stable, and persist through a few restarts. When I got this to work, it was usually as follows: 1. Rendering pane invisible. 2. Outline pane in upper left. 3. Tabs pane dragged to upper right (i.e., docked in right hand side of upper row). 4. Body pane across the entire bottom row. Then *if* the body pane was draggable - and sometimes it was not - then the render pane would either open up in the correct place or it could be dragged there. I have to emphasize that I had to drag, experiment, reopen and restart a lot. Simply deleting the .leo/db folder was not enough. Edward will say that the positions are saved and restored by the QT libraries, and that Leo has no control over it. But there other QT applications that have complicated pane arrangements and they don't seem to have this problem. There must be some factor that we don't know about. Especially, the draggability of a pane shouldn't be changing from session to session. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
