I have a widescreen laptop, and therefore the following docking configuration is very convenient:



Pane "A" contains the documents, "B" contains the "Code Explorer", "C" contains the regular explorer, various help functions and watches, while D contains all the "full-width" dockable windows (stack trace, log etc.)

In 4.5, however, I'm unable to place B and C side by side, and I end up putting all of the windows from B and C into the larger pane E, as shown below:



My question is therefore: Is the above configuration at all possible with the updated docking code? (Does it require some sort of secret handshake, like holding down the Ctrl key while dragging?)

I don't think it's possible using mouse and keyboard. It looks like some certain flags are not set somewhere and therefore docking on to the border sides is not possible. I'll looks closer to this issue in the next version.

The above-mentioned layout is still not possible to acheive in PHPEd 4.6.

Here's an image showing all the docking positions I have been able to acheive in the 4.6 version (some of them require pixel-perfect mouse positioning):

(OBTW: It's the "DB Client" view I'm trying to position.)

My recommendation: If a docking component is available that works more like the docking in Eclipse or VS.NET 2005, that would be a sound investment (if stable, of course).[/img]
