In many situations (easily reproducible: when closing and restarting Lazarus), the position and size of the second source editor Window is reseted to some kind of default (e.g. it appears at the left of my two monitors).

Thanks for listening,

Go to the enviroment menu => options => enviroment => window.

The 2nd window is on the bottom of the list. Ensure that "Restore window geometry" is selected.

It should work

Great ! it works.

I( did not suppose that this is a configurable option.

Nonetheless, as all other windows' default is "Restore" I feel that for the alternate Source Windows the default should be set to "restore", as well, to avoid any confusion.

I changed the default to restore.

More windows appear in the list, as soon as they have been opened once. (once they were open, they will be there, even if you close them again)

On the downside, if you play around and open 20 => you will have 20 entries there for all time (anyway, it's the bottom of the list)
