Description Ian Formanek 2001-07-26 11:22:10 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
1. start fresh build 200107260100
2. select MDI in Setup WIzard, the IDE starts in MDI
3. shutdown and restart
-> the IDE comes up in SDI with a wrong layout (Main Window small, windows on 
bad locations)

This should be fixed by the next Q-build

reasigning

Comment 2 Jan Pokorsky 2001-07-26 22:34:15 UTC

I tried the same steps and ide always started in the correct mode. Did 
you use empty userdir?

Comment 3 support 2001-07-27 09:29:36 UTC

I used -userdir startup option and pointed to empty folder, maybe 
that makes a difference?

Comment 4 Ian Formanek 2001-07-27 11:12:25 UTC

Still easily reproducible in build 200107270100

Comment 5 Jan Pokorsky 2001-07-27 13:13:20 UTC

Yes you are right. I spoke to Dafe about it. There is implemented  
workaround for previous bug in the setup wizard which causes this 
behavior. I would propose to store ui mode directly in IDESettings an 
do not delegate it to UIModeManager (the delegation doesn't make much 
sense).

Comment 6 mslama 2001-07-30 19:04:42 UTC

Fixed in WindowManagerImpl - before UI mode was set when IDE settings
was loaded during IDE startup. Now IDE settings are not loaded during
IDE startup so UI mode was not set. I added setting of UI mode to
deserialization of window manager in method initGlobalProperties().

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
