Whilst the docked Delphi IDE is better than the undocked layout, it is
still a pain as windows get accidentally stuck to your mouse and
undock or drag to unwanted places.
The normal remedy is a 'lock' option .
The reason is the *immediate* drag start on MouseDown, what may be a
suitable default for drag-drop operations (which do not affect the
layout), but there is no need and no justification that drag-dock *also*
should start immediately. If the user *wants* to dock a form or control,
he *must* move the mouse to the new location, that typically is far more
away than only 5 pixels.
This problem results from the evolution of drag-drop into drag-dock in
Delphi, with both modes sharing the same DragImmediate and DragThreshold
settings.
That is 'special IDE' code. IMO a docking manager would be better.
ACK. When will we have fully functional additional editor windows?
[With additional code explorers à la Delphi...]
BTW all user actions (menus, commands...) should be routed to the
currently active editor window, in MDI style manner.
