Ondrej has been rapidly fixing issues in mantis and noted that there are problems with the new menu designer and the docked form designer.

While testing I noticed a few design issues with the new menu editor which apparently isn't working nicely with the docked form designer. Could whomever wrote or is working on the new menu editor take a look at it while the docked form designer is installed and perhaps help resolve some of these issues?

Thanks

I will do my best on this. Actually, blush, I never tested the new menu editor with the docked form designer (I'm old school and never use it myself; I'm just aware that it has taken many months of hard work by several skilled minds to get the docking reasonably stable).

Continual interaction with the OI by a non-modal window in relation to an arbitrary selection of components is rather tricky to manage... Perhaps this is the origin of the instability Kostas mentioned earlier.
