Description:
This is not 100% reproducible. I guess there are uninitialized variables involved or something similar.
The default layout without any anchordocklayout.xml contains source editor, messages window below it and Code Explorer on the right.
The Steps to Reproduce below assumes the default layout.
In case 1 the Messages window becomes small. It may be related to #18538 (closed) but the effect is more dramatic. There must be a docked window on the left side that occupies all the vertical space from top to bottom.
After deleting the default anchordocklayout.xml and trying again with same steps ... I could not reproduce! Must be uninitialized memory.
In case 2 the Messages window disappears.
This one I can reproduce always.
Steps to reproduce:
Case 1: Messages window becomes small.
- Show OI (F11) and dock it on left side of Source editor.
- Dock Messages window below Source editor. Now they are both on the right side of OI and OI's height is from top to bottom.
- Resize the IDE by crabbing its corner. Messages window becomes very low.
Case 2: Message window disappears.
- Do steps 1 and 2 of case 1.
- Show Component list (Ctrl-Alt-P) and dock it on right side of Source editor. Now both Source editor and Component list are above Messages window. Messages window is between OI and Code exprorer side-ways.
- Tools -> Save window layout as default.
- Close and restart the IDE.
- Resize the IDE by crabbing its corner. Messages window disappears. The 2 windows above it, SE and Code explorer, extend below the IDE's bottom edge and become partly invisible.
