<pre wrap="">Martin Friebe noticed a problem with desktops and multiple source
editor windows.
In fact I also noticed that a second source editor is not restored
correctly when changing desktops.
Now I realized the 2nd, 3rd etc. editor windows are project specific,
while other layout settings are global. This is not very logical. How
to solve it?
I think all layout settings should be global for the sake of consistency.

The settings are saved correctly in the environment settings. Try to
save a desktop with 2 editor windows, move something (including the
editor windows) and then load the desktop. Both editor windows are
positioned correctly.<br>
<br>
Actually, from the principal point of view, the code is correct.
Editor windows are normal nonmodal windows and so they are
restored/closed on desktop change like any other window. If you
stored a desktop without a secondary editor window, it is closed
when you apply the desktop.<br>
<br>
But I see that this is not wanted and expected from the user's point
of view -><br>
That means secondary editor windows need special treatment in <b>TEnvironmentOptions.UseDesktop/TIDEWindowCreatorList.RestoreSimpleLayout</b>.
It should not change visibility of editor windows. It should only
change their position.<br>
<br>
I fixed this in the undocked environment. See the patch. Please
test/comment. The special windows that should not be closed/shown on
desktop change have to be registered in the <b>IDEWindowsDontChangeVisibility</b>
list (names of the forms). Currently only editor windows are added
into the list.<br>
Important: if you save a desktop with a secondary editor and use it,
the position of the secondary editor is restored. If you save a
desktop with no secondary editors and you apply the desktop when
there is a secondary editor window visible, it won't change its
position. This is correct behavior.<br>
<br>
+ Please don't report bugs like "I created a desktop with no editor
window. But when I apply it, the editor window isn't closed." This
is the requested behavior now (there is no difference between
secondary/primary editor window).<br>
