[lazarus] Poll: Change default to not automatically open form when open unit

Should the feature be kept turned on as default for newbies, or should we turn it off as default?

Now, if they accidentally close the form and don't know how to open it again (F12), they can just restart Lazarus.

To answer you question Vincent. There are many ways. Coming from Delphi they should know most of them. F12 View - Forms View - Toggle Forms/Units view Some or other time, they will have to use one of these. Forms can easily be hidden behind the editor.

At least on the Linux taskbar you can find all open forms and there you can select anyone to come to the front. Ger If you use a taskbar in your window manager! After all, it is Linux. ;-) Graeme. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
