Has the toolbar problem been fixed?

IDE toolbars get scrambled over time

 

The toolbars of the IDE lose icons when starting, exiting and restarting the IDE multiple times (see screenshot). This bug had already been reported in the old quality portal for Delphi 11 and 12. It’s still there in Delphi 12.1. Resetting the toolbars to their default using the View → Toolbars → Customize dialog, helps for a while before the same happens again.

It seems to have been fixed in Delphi 12.3, at last I have not seen this problem after I updated my installations.

Maybe it has been fixed? The bug report is still open though, so maybe that was a side effect of some other change?

There are several toolbar issues listed as fixed in 12.2.

Yes, but the problem I reported still happened in 12.2. That's why I created a workaround when I started using Delphi 12(.2) in earnest.

Sorry, I do not want to move to the newer Delphi after seeing all those problems

I know Embaecadero hase to make money, but my stable Delphi is more important to me.

A stable Delphi is also important to me. That's why I do my best to help Embarcadero achieve this.

@Uwe Raabe Since I have been with Delphi since #1, History

proved that there are a few stable versions.

In my D10.2.3, GetIt does not work, but that does not impair work, for example

And I am not alone on this matter

Yeah, I know. That's a pity...

I have the latest version of the Delphi IDE 12.3 with all the patches and I am sorry to say this bug is worse than ever.

I am working with the IDE under windows 11.

 

I think it might have something to do with the IDE not coping with it's windows getting resized on different screens with different resolutions and scaling.

 

I am using a laptop as my work computer so I often move the Delphi IDE off the laptop screen on to the bigger monitor.

 

Also of annoyance is when I run a program in Debug mode it moves the IDE window back to the smaller laptop monitor rather than staying put, even though the "Always keep IDE on the same screen feature" is enabled.

This triggers resizing events in the IDE causing the toolbars to get resized.

 

I tried the new windows 11 snap feature but that doesn't keep the IDE in place either.

 

This should be an easy bug to sort out.

I have 1, 2 or 3 monitors in use (depens on working places,  project type and debug features needed).

 

In the early versions I had those annoying problems but in the last version (12.3) I didn't found them.

I always use monitors with 100% scale settings and always IDE with HIGH-DPI-Aware (normal start).

 

My IDE is ALWAYS in the first monitor (the primary) and the applications run always in the secondary monitor if available. In the third monitor I put some units undocked or documents.

 

I use this IDE layout:

 

and as I already said in the new Rad Studio's release I never had those issues.

In High-DPI tests, I found some issues like those reported in other topics and in the ESP (Embarcadero service portal).

Are you aware that the IDE uses different layouts for design and debugging modes? Just arrange the IDE once as you want it to show while debugging, save this layout under a name of your choice, and define it as the debug layout to use. See https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Athens/en/Desktop_and_Layout

It still does it. I saved a default layout and it does matter what layout I goto all my buttons are missing. The bug is not fixed, at least on my computer anyway.

Embarcadero still not fixing this annoying problem after several updates made me add the IDE toolbar expert to GExperts.

Now I remove all the toolbars and enable the GExperts one. Works fine for me.

(If you use the IDE dark mode, you will probably not like it.)
