I've noticed that when I dock a ToolWindow into a Linked Nested Docksite the IsActive property of the ToolWindow that is being docked is changed to False when the UI state of that ToolWindow indicates it should be IsActive i.e. the ToolWindow's header is blue.

I can replicate this issue using your demonstration app using the Nested Dock Sites example and linking them in the constructor as demonstrated in a previous post.

  1. I use snoop to watch the properties on the ToolWindow, it is IsActive.
  2. I drag it out so it IsFloating and it is still IsActive.
  3. I then dock next to the Inner DockSite and the IsActive property is set to False.

Hi Matt,

Before we dig into this more, have you tested this with our latest official build 664?  The reason I ask is that you might be using a preview build and our final build 664 had this update in it:

Fixed a bug where the DockSite's ActiveWindow and PrimaryDocument properties weren't updated after a docking window was dragged to a linked DockSite.

Hi Matt,

Thanks, we were able to duplicate it and it is a different issue than the other one that was fixed recently.  We've made a code update for the next build to handle it.
