SlickEdit Pro 2024 (v29.0.1.0 64-bit Qt5) hotfix 4
I am finding that these tool windows keep docking each time I start a new instance of SE:
- Find Symbol
- Interactive
- Clipboard
- Highlight
- Bookmarks
- Terminal
I unmarked Dockable for each of them, but each time I start a new instance of SE they dock when invoked.
( corrected spelling in title )

Try exiting SlickEdit, deleting your vrestore.xml and vrestore.slk (if you have one). Also delete all your *.vpwhist and *.vpwhistxml files. This will clean out all the docking state information.

Deleting vrestore.xml is not a good idea since you lose your configured panes, toolbars, buttons, etc.
I don't see vrestore.slk so I don't know what happens when you delete this.

Deleting *.vpwhist* kind of works (still occurs on a project or two)...
but it is tedious when I have 15+
workspaces
