Version: 24.1.4

Hi, I have some question with the dock site:

1. When there are too many windows open in collapsed mode at the bottom of the screen, they overflow beyond the screen and it is not possible to scroll to view them all.

When collased:

When not collased: there are a overflow menu:

2. The View tabs at the bottom of the screen, in collapsed mode, do not close with a middle mouse button click (it works only in auto-hide mode).

The same problem there are on Docking/MDI/Demos:

How can I solve my problem?

Thanks

Hello,

We mimic our Docking/MDI UI after Visual Studio. Visual Studio also doesn't have scrolling for auto-hidden tabs. We do have a context menu on all the auto-hide tabs that has a menu item for each tab, and clicking a tab allows you to instantly show the related tool window in a popup, even if the tab is out of view.

Thank you for reporting the missing middle-click functionality on auto-hide tabs. We will add that for the next release.

Great. Many thanks for your support.

And how to show the overflow menu in case it is self-collapsing?

Hello,

You can right-click anywhere in the auto-hide row to show the context menu giving access to any auto-hidden tool window.
