Hello, I am using 18.1.0 Build 625 09/12/2018 SJ Standard Edition. I accidently punched a button or buttons combination while navigating in the QP screen and goofed up the window layout. I searched the web and did not find how to restore the layout to the default. Can you please let me know how to do it? Thanks

Define "goofed up the window layout." Can't you just drag things back the way you want them?

Goofed up means I undocked the message window, which used to be at the bottom below the compilation report window. Your question of can't I just drag things back the way I want them inspired me to try it. I was able to get the message window back to where I normally have it. I am guessing that the answer to my original question is no.

Thanks for prompting me to fix my layout.

  There are 3 little buttons for most of the smaller windows in the interface: pin, detach, and close. And as mentioned, you can drag detached windows on top of other windows to create a tabbed layout or put them to the side of other windows.

    Actually I was fiddling with the three little buttons but when I dragged the message window, I could not get a blue area to light up at the bottom until your original reply arrived. I have had this problem before and was able to restore the message window to its accustomed position. Today I was not getting there.
