Description brviking 2006-02-27 21:07:41 UTC 
When maximized GUI editor (Shift+ESC or double click over tab), pallete and
properties should not be hidden. Doing so make feature almost unusable (except
by reposition of components visually, but developers take too little time on
repositioning than defining properties and adding components).
Comment 1 brviking 2006-04-05 02:11:03 UTC 
Desired behaviour could be achived using SDI mode, and the "Pallete in toolbar"
option, but should be one way to define properties window as "always on top" or
enable a "properties" panel inside form editor, so it's not hidden by form edit
window.

A non elegant workaround is working in MDI mode and minimize all secondary
windows. But, in any way, Properties will fill a large unecessary lateral or
bottom area.
