Tool windows - bad restore.

[jporkkahtc]

As before, run slick.
Get two floating editor windows.
On main window, do not have "Open" tool window.


DUplicate->Open.
Now there are 3 floaters -- two editors plus an "Open".
Close the floating "Open".
In the main window run smart-gui-open
Sometimes, the keyboard focus appears to move to an invisible Open tool window, and sometimes a docked "Open" appears on the main window.


Close Slick.
Open Sick.


Slick now has *every* tool window docked on the left - including 2 instances of each of the tool windows that had originally been opened.

I cannot reproduce this. The problem where all your tool-windows get stuffed in the mainwindow means autorestore failed and it had to do something with all the extra windows. But why did autorestore fail?

I would really appreciate your help, so please:

I need your Help>Program Information.

Run with a clean config.
Set up everything just short of failure and exit the editor.
Save off your config-dir/19.0.0/vrestore.slk
Run the editor and reproduce the problem.
Give me the exact steps.
PM me the offending vrestore.slk

If you cannot reproduce with a clean config, then give me a 'vrestore.slk' from your config-dir that does reproduce it. Hopefully I can reconstruct something on my end.

Your vrestore.slk is restoring an entire floating mdiwindow that is not visible, with an empty but visible mdiarea (editor window area), and 5 tool-windows (Symbols, Projects, Class, Defs, Open). Obviously this should never happen and I am still trying to reproduce the scenario with the steps you provided.

Edit: Seems to be related to your post: http://community.slickedit.com/index.php/topic,10496.0.html

Do a 'set-var def-mdi-close-if-no-child-windows' from the SE commandline and tell me the value (should be 1 by default).

Paste your Program Information from Help>About SlickEdit.

Thanks.

def-mdi-close-if-no-child-windows is 1.

The vrestore.slk file I sent you was from a 2nd computer.
Most of the other floating problems I reported were done on my primary computer.
Both are running the same version of Slick with mostly the same configuration.

Okay I finally reproduced it, though using a slightly different set of steps. Now I can work on a fix.

Fixed for the next build. When you did the Apply Layout to All, we applied tool-windows to a hidden/empty floating mdiwindow that had been "marked" for disposal. That is why, when you ran smart-open, focus got lost - because it was going to a tool-window inside a hidden floating mdiwindow.

Good one. Thanks!
