If I open the toc dock, the workarea is ridiculously narrow, so I
have
to make the window larger. Next time I start LyX, the window is
ridiculously wide because the toc is not open anymore but the size
has
been remembered.
What we need is to remember the Toc state in the session file.
Should be easy to implement... Peter, Bo, any taker?
I agree. (It would also be nice to have LyX remember sizes and
locations of individual dialogs, too. Find/Replace and Insert
Citation in particular are ones I find I need to move around a lot so
that they don't overlap the main window.)
Anyway, the drawer is how it should be on a mac, so we should follow
this IMO.
Agreed. But that doesn't mean that proper docked widget should be
disabled on Mac. It appears that drawer window are just normal
floating windows with fixed size and position beside the main window.
I think if we implement this as a drawer -- which is quite nice -- we
should not also allow a docked widget or floating window. (That's not
the Mac way: simplify to avoid confusion.)
