Hi again Tomasz,
In addition to what I wrote below, the toolbar problem I noted a long
time ago is still an open issue. Even when I tile the screen
horizontally (AB remains full width, but half height), this
rearranges the toolbars at the TOP of my AB screen, causing me to
lose precious screen real estate until I manually drag and drop them
back to their original locations.
I cannot understand why a horizontal tile would upset the toolbars
across the top of the screen, but it does. Can we *please* have an
option to FIX these toolbars so that they will NOT move without user
intervention?
Yuki
