Hi all,
I'm running Lazarus 0.9.28.2 (Win32), and have noticed two issues...

1. When I click on the minimization button on the main Lazarus program window, more often than not, only the top part of Lazarus minimizes...it leaves the editor window, messages window, etc. still there. This means I have to alt-tab to move away to the program behind Lazarus, and not just using minimize.

2. When I click on the maximization button on the code editor window, it maximizes over the top of all other windows in Lazarus, and doesn't stop underneath the top part of Lazarus like it does in Delphi ( I do realize this is NOT Delphi...LOL )

I love Lazarus, but these 2 issues really annoy me :)

Any ideas or tips for me?

cheers,
Paul

And what would happen if the developer prefers to have the "main window" of Lazarus IDE below the Editor window? What should maximize do then?

+------+ +---------------+
| OI | | |
| & | | Editor |
| Proj | | |
| Insp.| | |
+------+ +---------------+
+-------------------------+
| main window + palettes |
+-------------------------+

There is no rule that says the Main Window must be above the Editor Window? Just because it is at the top by default doesn't make it a fast rule. ;-)

The solution (I think)? Lazarus needs docking support in the IDE. There are people working on this, but I have no idea how far they have progressed.
