John: I saw this documented only recently so I thought it was for V17 but I just checked it in 15.4 - Win server, Mac client.
Hold down the Shift key to reset the boundaries for the editor windows in design mode. In the case of the debugger, create an empty method (I have one called “aTestDoug”) and type in “Trace”. Hold down the Shift key and click the green “go” button to run the method. 4D will execute the Trace command and will open the debugger in the default position. For the Explorer, make sure that the Explorer is closed, hold down the Shift key, and open the Explorer with the mouse. Before I learned the Shift key trick, I had to resort to throwing out the config file.
