These things are borderline annoying, and I'm not sure what settings to change to alter the behavior, or is indeed it can be altered.
Number one is the Properties page. When I open a form, I get the Properties page. All well and good, but when I save and close the form, the Properties page is still open, now showing me properties for the screen. VFP 6 didn;t do this. Is there any way to turn off this 'feature' so the Properties page goes away when the item it relates to is closed?
Number two is the behavior of the toolbars. If last used in docked mode, each time you open an item that has it's own toolbar (Form Design, Database Container) the associated toolbar opens, but each on it's own line at the top, no matter how much space is still available. The CAN all fit on one line, because I move them there myself. It's annoying because if I have a project docked, plus a standard toolbad, then am workin o a form and pop open the DBC to look at something, I now have 4 lines of toolbars at the top and it starts eating display space. Obviously one solution is to NOT dock any toolbars, then they float near or on the associated item, but I also like the docked view. Is there any way to force docked toolbars to one line, or limit the space used by toolbars? A 5 icon toolbar does NOT need the entire screen width to itself.
