Show/Hide Bottom Pane in Debug Mode

[Irwin]

Hi Chris,

This is nonsense, but if you have the Bottom Pane hidden and then you start debugging your code then it shows up again and I have to press F4 to hide it again. I told you it was nonsense, I'm just a bit picky with those things

Hi Irwin,

Not nonsense at all, I am also very picky with such things!

But this normally shouldn't happen, please Preferences/Advanced, do you have set some of the options to automatically focus one or more tool windows on an action? If you have say selected the Callstack window to be activated on Debug Begin and this window is docked on the bottom pane, then the bottom pane will automatically show in order to show this window.

Chris,
reading this, i ventured to my settings and found, there are (a lot) more than i remember... Swapping to help, it seems the additions didn't make it there, too. Any chance to get more info here?

Hi Karl,

Well, writing all those down would take me several days

Which ones are you wondering about?

[FFF]

Hi Chris,
should tell you, that docs should be written parallel to the corresponding code - so far the theory

Well, i looked for the "automatically hide Bottom pane, and now i wonder about the "Preferences/Advanced" tab: "Select tool windows to set focus on action" - i always thought, "focus" is on ONE, and only one form?
So, e.g. "Compile begin" - here i have "naught, Errors and Project" - and that means?

Chris, you're right, the "Watch" and "CallStack" tabs was activated by default. I've deactivated and I get the expected result.

thank you.
