I changed the name of this issue, I hope you don't mind.

Yep, this happened to me, but was easy to dock.

@Dean-NC

Thanks for the confirmation Dean. I have a vague memory of it happening to me the first time too, but it was a long time ago now, and I hadn't seen it since, so I forgot about it until @gfkeogh mentioned it.

It's not really a nice experience to have to dock it yourself that first time, especially with it starting off so small. To be honest I thought I had coded it to start off docked (if that's even possible). Anyway I'll look into it later to hopefully have it sorted before v1.0, so it gives a better first impression.

This has been fixed (hopefully), and will be available in Preview 4.

I stopped using it with Preview 3, and didn't try preview 4, but I've installed it again (1.0), and after 1st start, it's still small and un-docked. Actually here's my exact steps:

  1. Inside VS, installed extension.
  2. Restarted VS. I had forgotten to turn off built-in Start Window, so turned that off.
  3. Restarted VS, and the Start Page+ was small and un-docked...see picture.

It's possible, that since I forgot to turn off Start Window, and technically my 1st start was with Start Window enabled, that it could have thrown-off your code, if you are only looking specifically at the first start, to make it docked.

Visual Studio 16.6.0, on Win 10 x64 1909.

Thanks for letting me know Dean! It's a hard one for me to figure out what's causing it. I'll re-open this issue, so it doesn't fall through the cracks.

I'm really sorry to hear that you stopped using Start Page+ Preview 3 (btw Preview 4 was never released). I'd love to know what made you stop using it, if you don't mind telling me.

The reason that Preview 4 never got released was due to a personal tragedy in my life, and it was about 6 months before I started writing code again. The work that I had already done, plus additional work became v1.0 instead. The Start tab is now fully functional.

Next is the Favorites tab, which I'm so looking forward to being able to use myself. :-)

@Dean-NC Did you ever try Start Page+ after v1.0 was released?
