Обсуждение: Problems with window management in SQL query dialogue

Hi developers!

I am testing pgAdmin III Beta 3 (Oct 12 2006, re: 5475) on Windows XP 
(German, latest patch level).
- When I choose from the menu: View -> Default View, the previously 
closed "Scratch pad" becomes visible again. However, the menu does not 
get updated and keeps displaying the status as hidden: no check in front 
of "Scratch pad" in the "VIEW"-menu.

- The main window obviously is not floatable. Top end docks at the menu. 
Toolbar and Database bar overlay the main window. So, if I resize the 
output pane against the main window, the latter can become hidden behind 
the toolbar.
Previous versions had a minimum hight for the main window, which would 
be a good idea, still. Maybe the top of the main window could dock at 
the bottom of the toolbar (if displayed)?

Situation is the same in the build that Dave mailed me (rev: 5475:5496).

All in all, the SQL query dialogue leaves a "beta" impression, still.

Thanks, fixed in SVN.

I've committed some changes to improve this, however it is still
possible to hide panes in some circumstances due to a bug in wxAUI. I've
logged this with them:

Well, it *is* a beta some I can't say I'm surprised :-p

Thanks for the feedback.
