Hi Thomas,
OK. Tks. I don't recall having to do that under D12 but I probably did, oh so long ago. ;-)
Cheers.

#459 Grep Results not remembering size/position.

The problem with the Grep Results window is that its position is stored in the IDE's desktop. It does not store its position (except in the stand alone version). So in order to always have it where you want it to be, you must do the following:

Move the Window
Optionally: close the window
Save the current desktop
Repeat 1..3 for all your desktops

I just tested this and it worked for me.

It's the same as with all other dockable windows, including the ones in the IDE.

(I have thought about making that Windows just a regular form rather than a dockable window, but that isn't ideal either.)

Win 11, D13, Latest GE SVN build.
Even though I have GE configuration set, see attached, the GE Grep Results window allways opens at the top left of the screen on first usage. It stays where it is moved to/sized during the Delphi session.
