Description

Now that I am trying to live with embedded designer, everything docked, I have to dbl-click on the TMainMenu component itself to edit the menu. I used to be able to simply go to the menu on the form and start editing it.

Anyway, the menu editor now opens with "Stay on Top" enabled. Because of the Stay on Top behavior, I often have to close the menu designer itself to go implement the code behind a certain item.

The problem is that when I go back to it, it comes back up at exactly the same size it was when I first opened it. In past versions of Delphi, it would remember the size it was last opened , at least within one session of Delphi being opened.

If Borland is not going to make classic undocked mode work properly (it is still chock-full of bugs even after Update #2), at least make the things we have to live with in fully integrated mode more convenient.

Please have the menu designer remember its size within a project within one session of Delphi.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start a new Win32 project in Default Layout
2. Drop a TMainMenu on the form
3. Double click on the TMainMenu to open the menu designer
4. Change the size of the menu designer, so that it could hold a very wide menu for example
5. Close the menu designer
6. Open it again by double-clicking the TMainMenu

exp: menu designer window should have remembered it last position and size
act: menu designer opens with default position and size

I agree that this is a problem and that it worked with D7.
