Currently when the user first closes the palette, for example when he has an HTML file open in editor and he is not interested in the code snippets the palette offers for HTML, the palette will be hidden for other documents like form as well, until the user clicks Window/Palette in menu. This is confusing and also uncomfortable. With HTMLs I may not be interested in the palette at all, but for forms the palette is necessary to do the design. I suggest that the visible/hidden property of the palette window is stored and applied per type of the selected document.
