I can't stand the new windows system in Stata 9. With tech support's
help I got it to behave as it did in Stata 8, with the windows where I
expected them to be each time I opened Stata. However, in the midst
of a session today, when Stata's docking/floating capabilities had supposedly
I'm not even sure what these new capabilities are or what they do (and
after reading your message, I'm afraid to start experimenting so I can find
out!). I just know that on mine, the windowing preferences are set to "Use
docking guides" and "Enable ability to dock, undock or tab windows." It
produces a layout that I think is as good or better as I had under 8.2. Of
course, if windows start disappearing on me I may think differently.
