Hello Pat,

Thanks for the reply and workaround - it works.

Still, LoadState(...) doesn't restore the state of docking panes correctly. To reproduce this:

Start VisualStudioDemo from samples folder
Float "Watch" pane
Dock "Output" to the "Watch" pane's right side
Dock "Dynamic Help" to the "Output" pane's right side
Select "View->Full Screen"
Exit full screen mode

what's wrong:
1) "Watch" pane lost its caption
2) Sizes of "Watch" and "Output" are not the same as they where before full screen mode

Hello,

Thanks for the report. This issue has been fixed in MFC for the next major release of Visual Studio. In the meantime, the workaround is to make sure that ShowDelayShowMiniFrames(TRUE) is called on the docking manager when exiting from full screen mode.
