Delphi 12.2 Toolbars strange behavior

[Fudley 3]

Windows 11

Delphi 12.1  (haven't dived into 12.2 yet)

GExperts, CnPack, MMX are installed.

 

Right-clicking on the toolbars and selecting "Customize" I can then arrange the toolbars and icons, add new icons etc.

All is well until I restart Deephi, and the toolbars are not as I left them.  Some icons are missing. Some toolbars have blank spaces where the icons should be.

 

I have tried locking the toolbars, and saving the desktop.

 

Has anyone else run into this?

Yes, EMB screwed up again. I have not found a way to fix that. To they test before release at all?!

Sync prototypes still not working, lamers.

Oh well, provides a nice warm up phase before coding 🌞

My futile fight with toolbars in Delphi started with Delphi X?? and continues to this day. But I found a solution: I turned off all toolbars and left only the palette on top 🙂(To be honest, I did not try to enable any of toolbars in Delphi 12.2, so I am not sure that problems persist.)

I like the extra one or two code lines showing gained by not showing them.  If only the debug pause button had a key.

Hm, that just got me thinking: GExperts has this Editor Toolbar which can be freely configured, using any actions registered in the IDE. This works fine, even in Delphi 11 and 12 where the built in toolbars are broken.

Since Embarcadero seems unable to fix their bl***y toolbars, a plugin could just insert a panel at some convenient place - maybe just below the main menu? - and make it a toolbar.

Any takers?

OK, no takers. What about testers?

I hardly ever use the toolbars in Delphi. The only one I usually have up there is the Debug one--and even then, I use the hotkeys. One of the first things I do after installing Delphi, is removing all (or most) of the toolbars as they just take up space (been doing that over a decade). I can't remember what all those icons mean anyway and most all the functions I need are either a right+click or hot-key away.

You are also welcome not to use the new IDE toolbar feature of GExperts. 😉
