Correct, I could right-click on the empty Editor Toolbar and select
"Configure". It worked, but I didn't want to do that in case it
overwrote my existing Editor Toolbar configuration which I knew existed
in environmentoptions.xml.

Up until now, I didn't even know Lazarus supports multiple desktop
configurations. I just found it in the Tools menu.

That is a very valid point. When I go to "Tools -> Options ->
Environment" I would assume all setting under "Environment" apply to the
whole IDE. Moving settings specific for a desktop layout in a new
"Desktop" options would make more sense.

Even without copying. You should be able to show the toolbar and
add buttons without editing the xml. I wonder, why it works here, but
not for you.


IMO this is a misunderstanding. As far as I see from Graeme's 
screenshots the toolbar is there and works but is empty. Graeme please 
see http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=29742 point 2, especially the 
"why" section.


So the only problem is that there is no default layout for AnchorDocking.

Seems I found the problem. My environmentoptions.xml file now contains
two "desktop" settings for some reason. Without Ancher Docking it used
"desktop1", but with Anchor Docking it uses "desktop2". I assume when I
installed Anchor Docking it created a second set of desktop settings -
but never copied over my original Editor Toolbar settings.

Manually copying my Editor Toolbar configuration from desktop1 to
desktop2 - now my IDE has docked windows and the editor toolbar I so
like. :)

I presume this is a bug with Anchor Docking - not copying over certain
settings to desktop2.

Umm... thanks for that.

It seems for every good feature in Lazarus IDE, there is an inevitable
trade-off somewhere else. :-(  All I wanted was a single tabbed window
to collect all IDE debug windows in one place - the trade-off is I loose
the useful Editor Toolbar. If I have some time over the weekend I'll see
if I can debug the cause.

  Graeme

It is somewhat documented in: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=29863

All toolbars disappear once you install anchor docking package, so 
toolbars need to be re-enabled manually. That's one of the problems. The 
other one is more severe, i.e. "TWinControl.WMSize loop detected".

Thanks for confirming... Now I’m very confused as to why it doesn’t work
here.

As for the “ugly” comment - yes, I don’t know why LCL-GTK2 tabs on the
right must be so “fat” (vertical space). With fpGUI or MSEide
pagecontrol widgets, I can fit almost 3× the amount of tabs in the
vertical space taken up by what your screenshot shows.

I use tabs-on-the-right because I work with a lot of files at once. I
hate having to scroll to find a file I need. With vertical stacked tabs,
I see all the open files in one go without any scrolling. It has its
benefits. ;-)

  Graeme

Sorry if my message wasn't clear. Here is a screenshot of what I see,
and below is the Editor Toolbar settings as seen in the
environmentoptions.xml file.


  
















  


When I disable Anchor Docking, then the Editor Toolbar displays
correctly. Enable Anchor Docking, and it looks like the attached screenshot.

As I mentioned, I'm using Lazarus 1.7 r52715 FPC 2.6.4 x86_64-linux-gtk
2 on a CentOS 6 Linux system.

  Graeme

It only disappears when on the right?

I use LCL-GTK2 with Anchordocking and Editor Toolbar to the right, no
problem.

Without Anchor Docking installed, the editor toolbar worked fine - even
with my editor tabs on the right edge of the editor.
