I just updated my lazarus today (r47247) and I found that the component palette misses a lot of components. The appearing components are random, though. Some tab has 3, the other maybe 2, some other may be complete or even there are some that are totally has no components (but the tab is there). Is this another palette reordering issue?

There's a cute section in my environmenoptions.xml that might be responsible for this:

Yes, removing it was the right choice but how did this configuration happen? There should never be visible tabs without components. A tab without components is hidden.
Did you test the reordering while a DataModule was active? It is not recommended because then the filtering is active. Maybe this must be changed in the configuration GUI later, now it is kind of a feature.

The only know bug in palette reordering is related to LCL-QT. See the mail thread "Alternative component palette layout" for details. Can you import the "modern" layout without problems?

I really have no idea... probably a left over from... I don't know, before this update, my component palette was fully displayed.

Nope, I didn't reorder the let the IDE does that.

Umm... I can't see the import button...

Yes, even full screen: tools-options-componentpalette-fullscreen.png <http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.com/file/n4039908/tools-options-componentpalette-fullscreen.png> This is on a standard 1366x768 notebook screen, widgetset is Qt.

No Giuliano, the anchors are working correctly, I tested it. Only the Pages ListBox is resized, the buttons move together with the window's bottom edge.
A clean rebuild may help. If it doesn't then I have no ideas.

Sorry, I was on 47056 because I thought it was a regression in 47247. Now it appears after svn up again.

For Giuliano, yes it works. I don't test thoroughly, but at least switching tabs work, no components seem missing. Restore default also works.
