Description pdelisle 2003-04-16 11:21:41 UTC
Docking windows (i.e. Navigator, Stylist etc) "forget" their position when a new
instance of OOo or the help system is opened under Gnome2 (I don't run KDE so I
can't check under this).

In v1.0.x, these windows didn't look like Gnome2 applets and "stuck" wherever I
put them.

Is this a bug or a new "feature" that I hate <vbg>? It is a royal PIA to have to
move windows from the document I'm working on every time I switch between a
spreadsheed and the word processor (which I do hundreds of times a day).

Docking to the left of the main window a) takes up too much real estate (I know
that this can be reduced but is there a need for each applet to take up the
whole vertical space?) and b) is really annoying if, like me, you are right
handed and keep the mouse to the right hand side of the page (as many people
do). Docking would be much better if the applet attached itself to the tool bar
at the top of the main window and dropped down from there.

Better still, confirm this as a bug and make the windows remember their positions :)
