Remember dock sizes

Currently, if a dock panel is hidden and then restored, it's returned to a predetermined size. it would be nice if it would be the same size as it was before it was hidden. I like to keep the messages window hidden when editing and the default size only shows seven or so lines.

Ok this is what I did, and it does what you want.

1. Resize the Open files list window to a smaller size.

2. View -> Open files list. This hides the Open files list window.

3. View -> Open files list.

4. The Open files list window is the same size it was when you hid it with #2.

Or did you mean something different?

hi, I was about to report the same thing ... everytime I use F2 to hide / restore the messages pane, it is restored to default 'small' size ..

extremely annoying to have to resize it manually. (I hide/restore the msgs pane very often when compiling)

oh, this is w. nighlty build CB_20060305_rev2141_win32

Indeed, individual window sizes inside the panel are saved. But the size of the panel itself is not. Procedure to reproduce:

1. Resize messages panel vertically (assuming it's in the bottom) 2. Press F2 twice to hide and show the panel 3. It's again annoyingly small

Revision 2133 on Linux here.

Ok. I can confirm. It only happens with the Messages pane. The other panes work the way you want them to..... I'll check it. :)

As far as I can tell, this is a wxFNB "feature", and it affects all panes. We only call Hide(), Show(), and Update() from inside Code::Blocks. During Update, wxFNB does a lot of rectangle and layout calculations on previously hidden panes (which I am unable to follow as a whole). I guess that is where it inserts the minimum size.
