3WDevolution question

[William Prothero]

Richard:
I’ve been playing around with this and noticed that if i move the IDE tools palette to the right far enough, the 4WDevo palette will move as far to the left as I want. So that tells me there is some interaction between the IDE tools palette and the 4W palette.

Again, if you can’t make it happen, I can live with it, especially now that I’ve played with it a bit more. It’s really pretty minor.
Best,
Bill

In LC 8.2.0, it acts normally, but in  LC 9.0.1 RC3, it won’t return all the way left. It seems like it’s trying to leave space for the IDE Tools palette, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s visible or not.
