A dock site on the main MDI form does not automatically hide a dock panel that is not focused

created 5 years ago

Hello,

The DockPanel is not auto hidden on MDIForms if the show was initiated by clicking on its title.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open attached project, tested on latest build 20.1.2 on Rio 10.3.3
  2. Click on panel title on dock, the panel appears
  3. Click on Focus button, the panel disappears as expected.
  4. Click on MDI button, it will switch form style to MDIForm
  5. Click on panel title on dock, the panel appears
  6. Click on Focus button, the panel does NOT disappear, as for fsNormal

Doing the same just with hovering, not by clicking on title tab, it works.

Also, trying to set dxDockSite.AutoSize = True from object inspector it does not work.
Setting it directly in dfm source works, but it seems not the best way to set properties )

Waiting for a quick fix if possible,

Thank You!

      Hello Mikhail, we are fine with making the ticket public. The test project poses no problem as i don't think it contains any personal data. We had created a seperate test project just for this ticket
