[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40485] (MinGW) Undocked (editor) pane position not rembered across restart

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #40485 (project octave):

Just one small detail/question:

When I close down Octave with a minimized undocked editor pane (i.e., pane not
visible), upon restart the pane is restored to its previous undocked position
(visible).

Do you know whether this is standard Windows (or even display manager)
behavior?


FYI: Matlab (r2012a) on Windows restores all undocked panes to previous screen
position, minimized if applicable. The editor behaves special:
- If it is empty ML just closes down an undocked minimized editor pane (i.e.
it has to be reopened again through the "edit" command);
- If the editor pane contains anything (AFAICS "anything" is text that has
been saved to file or read from file) it is re"created" (minimized if
applicable) upon restart.

As far as I'm concerned, if we want to more or less mimic this behavior (= as
regards minimized panes) it could go to the wish list for 3.8.1+
