Since some time the UI position and size of the forms of Lazarus are not preserved anymore. If I for instance organize them in a certain way and then press compile, the source editor changes size and position. Also restarting Lazarus makes the forms jump back to some original size and position. Is this a bug, or are my position and size settings simply not saved properly?
What can I do to test?

Please, move one form to a clearly different position, now in the object inspector select the "Top" field, edit and press enter. Repeat this step with "Left" field. Save the project, exit Lazarus and reopen.
I was talking about the forms of the Lazarus UI. Not forms of my project. So for instance the source editor keeps changing the size back to some odd location and size. Not only when I open a new project, but also when I compile the project. It's driving me mad!

Ahhh, found it. By setting the window option from "Default" to "Restore window geometry" everything works fine now. I'm surprised though it used to work by restoring the geometry. What does "default" mean?

I can't find which version of Lazarus you are using and on which operating system. Could you supply this info too?

I think default means the designed position of those IDE forms.

I consider it a bug, in the form placement procedures. I've already suggested a better placement, for both docked and undocked forms, but it was rejected.
Perhaps the docked IDE works better? (untested)

Isn't it rather so that "default" means that it will be placed wherever Windows decides?
At least in Delphi there is poDesigned (which is what I think tou refer to) and three variations of poDefault.

This will be impossible for Windows to do, considering that I run Linux. :)

Has anybody got an answer to this question? In fact, what do all the various "window position" options mean? There is no wiki help for this dialog.
