Hi, Viktor, In recent development releases of Leo, the VR3 pane has sometimes started to show up in unexpected places. I have also had the VR pane open in undesired locations too (VR and VR3 use almost identical code for the on/off behavior). This seems to be caused by some bug/feature in Leo's machinery that has not been tracked down yet (there have been some recent changes to this part of Leo's code, which may or may not have something to do with it). Edward has speculated that there may be some unexpected caching going on,
I have not seen the VR3 pane show up at the left nor under the body pane, but it probably has the same cause. To help with recovery, I added a new command, and you should try it out: <ALT-x>vr3-use-default-layout This should put the VR3 pane to the right of the body pane, which should be to the right of the outline pane, no matter what incorrect layout had come about. This layout should be stable when VR3 is toggled on and off again. If this doesn't work for you, please post the actual behavior and I'll try to come up with a way to make it work as intended. If this works but it is not the layout you want to use, you should be able to use the context menus of the splitter bars between panes to change the layout. Then you can save your preferred layout under some name. After this, you can just load that named layout if VR3 should open in the wrong place again. Please note that I wouldn't be able to offer any changed code until after Leo 6.3 final is released, since the devel branch can't be changed until then. BTW, I use the initial setting @string initial-split-orientation = horizontal Most of my testing during development has been with this setting. This puts the outline pane at the left with the Nav pane below it, the body pane to its right, and the VR/VR3 pane to the right of that. But this setting did not prevent some of the undesired opening locations. I don't think any existing setting can do that.
