Restore Default View seems to be broken with floating windows

Answered

Hi,

 

i am used to using my IDE on two screens, wich is not entirely possible with rider, as far as I am concerned right now. I usually have the code on one screen and unit tests, errors in solution, solutionexplorer and TFS integration on the other screen. Unfortunatelly you can not drag and drop windows together like in Visual Studio and make a new "ToolBoxWindow". The only thing that works slightly the same way is to enable the "Windowed Mode" wich allows you to rearrange the windows and change the size of them. The downside of this is, that your Rider gets an Application with 4/5 Windows, wich is very annoying if you have 3 solutions opened and try to find your browser or something like that with "ALT/TAB". The other way would be to use them in "FloatingMode", as it keeps Rider in one Window, but the "Restore Default View" does not work properly with Windows in Flaoting Mode. In Windowed Mode the windows get resized, if you saved the configuration as a Default Window Layout in Rider. But with Floating Windows the Size does not get restored. Also FloatingMode just resizes the floating windows on every other startup to a minimal size and puts them completely somewhere else (see picture). 

 

Is it intended to be like this or is this a known/unknown Bug?
