Btw, Juha as an answer on your "The plan is to prevent the window opening initially in a non-docked IDE while still allowing its docking. I must look at it later." from the mantis issue:

For me the search result dialog isn't initially opened in the undocked IDE. Tested on Windows/win32.

Ah, thanks. Will the reversal also be part of the final 1.6?

It is opened if it was left open when Lazarus was closed previously. The nature of that window is such that I want to see it only after actually searching something.

Yes. It didn't make it to RC2 unfortunately.

No, it is not. It is opened if you saved your desktop with search result dialog opened. If you saved your desktop with search result dialog closed, it won't be opened.
If you have enabled "auto save desktop" option and you close the IDE with search result dialog opened, of course it is opened the next time.

This is correct behaviour. Do not change it!!! E.g. some people want the search result dialog have docked or opened by default.

Why do you want a special treatment for the search result dialog?

I agree with Ondrej. I will be always be using docking using both anchor docking and the docked designer. I suspect most others people will as well, given that they're available and function correctly. Personally, I prefer to have the message window and search results docked at the bottom all the time, but even if that weren't the case I don't think special rules should be applied to the search results window. If am running an undocked environment and I want search results opened all the time, then that's my preference.

I agree. I don't mind it to be open from the beginning either, normally I'm docking it into a tab with the message window anyway. Which reminds me: would the Search tab be automatically brought to front if I search something and the Message tab is in the front? I know I could simply test that myself, but till I'm in front of a Lazarus today I'll probably have forgotten that...

Sven

Yes, actually I have the "auto save desktop" option on. I will keep it off and the problem is solved.

I thought nobody wants to see search results before he actually searches something. Maybe I was wrong.
It was about undocked IDE as I wrote. Docked layout changes things of course. Anyway, problem solved, no changes needed.
