Qt Creator Debug window will not dock

MartinCook

Using
Qt Creator 3.2.1
Qt 5.3.2
Fedora 21
gcc 4.6.1 64 bit

Somehow I managed to undock the debug window, and now I cannot dock it. I can't even move it. To move it, I must drag the edges of the debug window, first one edge, then the opposite edge.

I know this doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is frustrating.

Hi,

In the Qt Creator "faq":http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-faq.html you can find how to reset all settings, taking a look at the files mentioned you may found the layout part and reset it.

Hope it helps

Found the following and set them to true.

No joy. :(
@
$ find ./ -type f -iname '*' -exec sh -c 'grep -q "$2" $3; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo $3; grep -ns --color $1 "$2" $3; fi' sh ' -i' debug '{}' ';' ./QtCreator.ini

Try to move $HOME/.config/QtProject/ to another name let say
@
mv $HOME/.config/QtProject/ $HOME/backup.QtProject
@

And then start QtCreator.

Thanks, that worked.

I had to reset my preferences, etc.

Meanwhile, I learned how to redock the window. Just need to drag it far enough to the right. If you grap the window in the middle, you won't have enough real estate to drag it far enough to the right to make it dock again.
