Project Browser keeps redocking when EA starts
« on: November 23, 2010, 08:32:01 am »
Like most devs, I have a multi monitor system and I undock the Project Browser tool windows and move to my second monitor. ( incidently monitor 2 is to the left of monitor 1 - I like the start menu to appear in the middle of the virtual desktop )

Every time I start EA, it redocks the windows back inside the main application.

Is there an option to stop this.... it's most annoying

I'm afraid I can't reproduce your issue.

I suggest resetting your layout to default, and relaying it out again.  It's possible something has been corrupted in your layout which is causing the problem.

I reset the workspace layout and this issue is still there

When I initially open the app, it is where I left it, but as soon as the start page appears, it redocks

I too have a multi monitor layout, and run with an undocked project browser window. It remains undocked when I close and open EA.
My frustration with it are accidentally closing it, and
the fact that it is not a proper window (does not have a full screen button), I note though that while it does not appear on the tak bar, it does appear in the (Alt-tab) task switch dialogue).
Having it on a separate screen though is a boon.
