Tools windows go inactive on restart

已回答

This is probably a FAQ, but I must not be using the right search terms.  I'm happy to RTFM if given the right terms, but I've spent way too much time so far!

By default, when I start IJ Idea, I want certain windows active (e.g. Alt-4 (Run), Alt-5 (Debug)), plus some others that don't have hotkeys (like Hierarchy).

When I enable them by hand (using View->Tool Windows->...), when I restart, Idea goes back to the default display layout.  Surely there must be a way to have the windows pane configurations persist across restarts.

Hello,

It is by design, but we do have a usability problem report about this behavior in our system already:

Feel free to upvote it.

I will, and thank you for the pointer.  I would love to know the rationale.

As a somewhat new user, it's quite surprising that this was the design chosen.

No problem Bradford, happy to help.

Good thing you left a comment to the issue. Hopefully, it will be revisited soon.
