VFP Toolbar - beyond a joke

Whenever the VFP IDE reappears (ie starting VFP, finishing running an
app, etc)("etc"?) the normal toolbar puts my docked project onto a
separate line from the standard toolbar, and therefore doubles the
height of the bar.

I spoke about this before (a long time ago) and y'all said no-one
else was seeing this. However I've now got the same effect on a
different computer, still a laptop but that's about the only
similarity, different operating system (XPH) and different hardware.

This has to be a bug shirley? I have (only) the standard toolbar
showing. There *is* space for the project to be docked onto the same
line. What's going wrong?

Is SET RESOURCE ON? I believe that's where VFP stores toolbar docked state
and last position.

And this isn't just a VFP thing. I've seen Word and Excel do the same thing.
I think it's a generic "Microsoft Toolbar" thing.

Yes it is. It *is* coming back as docked, and (usually) in the same
"left/right" position, it's just that VFP's decided, wrongly, that there's not
enough room on the same line as the standard toolbar and extended the bar to a
second line and put it there, stealing space from the rest of the screen of
course.

Ah, at least I'm not just going nuts then.
Has anyone seen it (regularly) in VFP?

My projects are not docked usually but, FWIW, I tried to
repro the effect and could not see it a few times.
I do have seen similar effects though, e.g. regularly with the
form designer toolbar. Like Dan I think it's (also) a "foxuser"
issue, did you try it with a fresh one?

Yup, brand new installation on this brand new machine...
