During the very first startup of the IDE with clean userdir the "Properties Window" is open on the right side of main window. It takes up space from the welcome screen and can only be used with mobility projects. Don't show the "Properties Window" initially and open it only when appropriate, for example when a mobility designer is open. (I'm not sure how the Properties Window is used in mobility, I just assume it belongs to mobility as its tooltip says "Mobility Properties window"). Also the title of the window should say "Properties" or "Mobility Properties". Don't add the term "Window" into the title. Should be fixed for M9. Please reassign where appropriate. Jano Rojcek is your usability contact for this issue.
