Hi Dave
What exactly are you seeing?
I currently have two panels open (eith with a Bible and commentary) and a floating window with the library.
If I try and open Program Settings (whether or not specifying use of a new tab) it opens in the floating window

OK, that's it - Settings opens in the second tile!

Program Settings ALWAYS opens in the first tile/panel!! It cannot open anywhere else..
Can we please go back to the predictable system of 5.1 and its predecessors.
BTW It perplexingly opens in the correct tile with "Open in a new tab".

Program settings opens for me with the floating Library panel that I always have open. Personal books and Collections behave similarly.
Presumably, there being no similar panels open, it opens in the emptiest location: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/76164/536898.aspx#536898

Uh oh. This could be BAD. Real BAD. My whole layout logic depends on what Dave is mentioning.

Bible Word Studies are also opening in my floating Library panel, which is inconvenient.
Perhaps floating windows should be excluded from the logic for new panels opened from the main window.
Conversely, when opening a new window from a resource in a floating window, I would probably want it to open in the same floating window. (But, I would not want this behaviour from my floating Library panel.)

Dave,
How are you opening Program Settings and what does your current layout look like?

Jonathan,
Can you post a screenshot of your layout including floating windows, and how you're opening a new BWS?
The new layout code is very dependent on what panels and windows are open, so the more information we have, the easier it will be to track down and fix.

Same goes for opening a lexicon, it goes to the floating window.

Opening from Tools menu. See http://community.logos.com/forums/p/76327/534272.aspx#534272 for my layout. No floating window.
The new 'scheme' is crazy Just now, Settings opened in the first tile and then immediately opened in the second tile (after closing it).

I do tend to agree.
I had two tiles open with a couple of resources in each and a floating window containing the library. I clicked on the search icon and the search panel opened in the floating window which I certainly didn't expect.

Graham, Dave,
Thanks for the feedback and screenshots. I'll take a look at these and make some changes.

More issues (opening from top menu):-
- Guides open on the R when I already have 2 on the L and none on the R.
- Documents open on R or L with no pattern (no Docs already open). Prefer L, with Guides
- Tools on RHS of menu open in the narrow tile on R as expected but TC should float.
- Reading Lists, History, Favorites & Highlighting insist on opening a new narrow tile on L when one already exists on R
- Personal Books is as capricious as Settings, opening on L or R (prefer L)

Dave,
I just discovered a logic bug in the panel code that might arbitrarily prefer any panel with the least number of tabs in it. That probably explains a lot of the craziness you're seeing.
As far as Tools go, if the Tool has a default position, it will prefer that position and will not cluster. That should be the default behavior for any panel and shouldn't have changed in 5.2.

I take that back. My debugging software lied to me. There was no error like I described, but there are some changes I'm going to test out to see if they give better clustering results with a layout like you have.
