Ok, it's a pity.


I  used anchordockingdsgn package for a long time and today i thought:
what happens if i drag "project inspector" for example to another
position ... bad idea(!!)

Things got worse as i tried to restore the initial settings of this
package.

Reinstalled the package, read the wiki ... no success,  but then with
google i found the  mentioned Lazarus forum thread: close all windows
except source editor and then  rearrange all windows.


I never use such a workaround to rearrange the windows. And thats IMO
the problem. I know what I have to do to get my layout back, but I don't
know what other people try to do.


Would be usefull if there was something like restore default settings?!


Yes, this seems a good idea! Can you make a bug report and assign it to me?!

Thank you

Michl

Can you explain, what you have done? I can only fix/work on things, I'm
aware about.

Maybe you have disabled the option "Show headers". Only with this option
enabled you can drag and drop the windows (click on header, hold header
and move window).

Reinstall the package does not restore the default layout and pulling
for example object inspector does not help.

I would expect the IDE would show where to place the object inspector by
painting a frame where it would sit if i stop dragging?!

Tipps are welcome ...

If your main problem is resetting messed up settings for anchordocking
package, you can edit or delete the saved settings.  Open
environmentoptions.xml in your Lazarus profile folder (e.g. on Windows:
c:\users\username\AppData\Local\lazarus), search for  and
either edit or delete the node (I didn't test this myself...).
Alternatively delete the file, or the whole lazarus folder - but this will
obviously delete a whole bunch of history and other settings too. This is
for Lazarus 2.0.10, newer versions may be a bit different.
