I'm playing with IDE docking for the first time and I have come across an annoyance I haven't found a solution for yet.

I followed these instructions:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Anchor_Docking#Docking_in_the_IDE

I installed the AnchorDockingDsgn package, set everything up the way I want it, and saved it to a file. I start the application with the --anchordocklayout= option (although it does the same thing if I just tell it to save my layout as the default).

The problem I have is that when the IDE starts up, it starts up maximized. This causes the layout to not be the same as I've saved it (things like the component bar are way too big). So what I have to do, each time, is unmaximize the program, then re-load my window layout from the file. This is a pain.

Is there a way I can have the application start up not maximized? I looked at the anchor docking layout file and don't see an option for it in the default XML, anyway.

Thanks,

-SG

Have you tried to close the IDE and delete the environmentoptions.xml?
