File Structure window forgets dockness
The File Structure window seems to not remember that it was docked to the
left of my documents whenever I restart VS.

Could you please check this? Do the following sequence of steps:
1. Start Visual Studio and open a solution.
2. Dock File Structure window wherever you want.
3. Close Visual Studio.
4. Make sure that Visual Studio process has exited (there is no process named
'devenv.exe' in the Task Manager).
5. Start Visual Studio and open a solution.

I'm getting the same problem - actually, it seems that /any/ R# docked

Visual Studio/ -- is undocked when I restart Visual Studio. (R# 2.5)
I've seen this with the Unit Test Runner and the Find Results window as
well as the File Structure window.
Just to double-check, I just made sure the R# windows were not the
selected tab in each dock group, closed VS, re-opened, and there was no
problem at all.
Hello,
We appreciate your feedback.
The corresponding JIRA request has been created, and you are welcome to monitor
its status at http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/RSRP-33703.
Best regards,

Hello Chris,
have you tried the sequence of steps proposed in Valentin's message? Doesn't
it work for you? Thanks.

Interesting. I thought I had done those steps explicitly - but now that
I try just those steps, I cannot recreate the problem.
So, I tried again, but this time I ran a unit test (in R#'s runner) in
between steps 2 and 3, then finished the rest of the steps, and had the
undocked problem again.
I suppose there's some sort of usage required as a step 2a. in order to
recreate the problem, but I don't know what.

Hello Chris,
that's odd - I tried to repeat this sequence of steps with additional (single)
unit test run step inserted between 2 and 3, and tool windows restored
their position and visibility normally. Are you sure that there weren't any
additional actions you undertook in order to repeat the problem?

In that one case, I don't think so. But, I wasn't being very careful.
Unfortunately, I don't have much time to experiment with this - if
there's a special build I can run for y'all or something else to get you
some diagnostic information, I might be able to help you out there.

Any updates on this? Every time I open VS I have to re-dock a few R#
windows and it's starting to drive me insane, I think. (The code ...
it's full of stars!)
Hi,
Just wanted to chime in and say that I am seeing this too.
I usually deal with the File Structure window, but I think this applies to any window. When I run through the steps that Valentin mentioned, the window remains docked. But I usually find that after a day of working in Studio, the next time I open it up, the window is undocked. It is positioned right in the center of the area where I had previously docked it.
I haven't been able to isolate the steps to reproduce it, but I'll try to provide some more information.

I'm also continuing to experience this problem - with both the File
Structure and the Find Usages windows. I cant seem to reliably get them
to remember their dockness when VS is reopened.
I noticed that this issue had been closed however

Showed the File Structure. Docked it to the right of everything, by
itself (I'd already moved the Solution Explorer to be docked on the
left). Closed VS. Re-open, re-open my last project - and there's File
Structure, same as usual, sitting undocked, in roughly the position it
was docked at.
On a whim for something different, I docked it on the left with Solution
Explorer, left File Structure open on top ... closed VS, re-opened, and
this time ... no problem. That's a first.
So, I may have narrowed it down to: any R# window, docked right or
bottom, when left as the visible tab in the dock group, when closing VS,
will be undocked when re-opening VS.
Hello Chris,
so is everything the same with other ReShaper tool windows, e.g. Unit Test
Runner or Find Results?

Hello Dmitry,
I've reported this before, concerning the File Structure window. I have the
File Structure window and the Find Results window docked together on the
left and pinned. When I open a solution, the last on top will be undocked.
Sometimes, and this is rare, they will both be docked. I have recently started
using the Unit Test Runner, docked to the bottom of the editor pane. It also
will start undocked when I open a solution. Additionally, and this probably
should be in a separate notice, but: (1) if I open a solution that does not
have tests I would rather the Unit Test Runner window not load, (2) if I
closed the Unit Test Runner window and run tests have it display again.

This describes what happens on my machine. But it also happens when docked
left. I use to have my solution browser at the far left (like every normal
(dedveloper) program), and the file structure to the right of that, but
still left of the editor window. The file tructure is always on its own, so
it is always visible, and after every start i have to dock it again.
I dock the Find results window at the bottom, together with several other
tabs (output, errors, find results 1, ...) and whenever left visible at
closing the IDE, it is undocked the next time.
Same for file hierarchy and the exception tracer

I still have these problems. However, if you close the Solution
separately prior to closing Visual Studio then docking settings are
reliably remembered.

Hello Erwin,
if the problem is always repeatable for you, could you please submit VS log
here? To capture the log, please run
'devenv /log C:\logfile.txt', wait for VS and ReSharper to initialize, open
a solution, check that ReSharper windows
are undocked and close VS. Please then post 'logfile.txt' here.

Hello John,
that's interesting. Do you mean that the problem goes away if you close the
solution manually before closing VS in the previous VS session?
Thanks.

I'll see if I can run the log thing Dmitry wrote about.
Yes - that exactly what happens! (Using VS05 with SP1 and build 351)

Dmitri,
I have monitored it for some days now and it is not consistently repeatable. It happens often but not all the times (say in 50% to 70% of the program starts). Sometimes it is only the file structure window, sometimes it is both the file structure and find results windows that do not get docked. Enclosed is is the requested log. Logfile1.txt is from a devenv start where the windows were docked correctly, logfile.txt from a devenv start where only the file structure window did not get docked (but find results (visible tab) and type hierarchy did).
HTH,
Erwin

Perhaps you're interested in the Resharper log as well. So I'll attach it here as well. It's from another restart, but the same behaviour. To be able to match times I will attach the logfile form devenv one more time as well.

I'm not sure if it is related but there is a following suspicious entry in

I've been seeing this one as well, and I also can't quite recognize the pattern of when it does and when it doesn't forget. I use two monitors, don't know if that impacts thigns. I'll look for a pattern and let you know if I see one.

I'll see if I can try the logging thing one of these days.
