Description gholmer 2011-03-16 17:36:18 UTC

It would be nice to have the positions and sizes of the various windows (navigator, output, &c.) restored from previous version when importing settings at install time.

Comment 1 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2011-03-17 10:04:47 UTC

I believe there are good reasons for not importing the persisted Window System state.

Reassigning to Standa for more details.

Comment 2 Jiri Kovalsky 2011-03-17 12:08:11 UTC

Yes, I second this requirement.

Comment 3 Michel Graciano 2011-03-24 14:44:49 UTC

The problem about this is that the TopComponents are serializable during IDE sessions and copy this is not trivial. I have requested it years ago and that was the answer, maybe it could change in the future? I will try to find my old issue, but no lucky until now.

Take a look at 141369 and 140875. The last one was asked by gholmer too :)
You already have my vote on this.
