    Workspace Issues...

    1957GoldTop Community Member

      I use a laptop with an external monitor connected.  I have a "dual monitor" workspace I created so all my panels and tabs are in the places I like on the second monitor.  I save the workspace and all is well.  Until I disconnect the external monitor at which point all the panels and tabs get moved around since there is now only one screen instead of two.  That's to be expected.  What isn't to be expected is that the "dual monitor" workspace I created is now automatically updated to this new incorrect configuration.  After I re-connect the external monitor, if I try to reapply the "dual monitor" workspace I had previously saved nothing happens because the workspace is now saved as the jumbled up workspace that happened when i disconnected the external monitor.

       

      When you have a workspace loaded and you move panels/tabs around, the workspace preset you created should remain the way it was when you originally saved it.  That way you can move things around when you need to then you can quickly re-apply the workspace to get things back to normal (or, as in my case, you can disconnect an external monitor and put things back the way they were).  It should only be saved/updated when you explicitly do so.

      Please tell me this is a bug that will soon be fixed.

          Selecting a workspace should make it appear as it was when last used. If it was left in a jumbled state when last used, it should be in that state the next time it is used.

           

          If you want it like it was when initially created and named, select it then perform command Window > Workspace > Reset <name of workspace>

           

          Are you doing the Reset command, but the reset is not working?
