    Does anyone know of a way to stop VS being a very silly IDE? That is, I have the open file tabs in the IDE. As you know, you select a tab and the IDE switches the editor pane to the one selected. But, if you inadvertently double-click a tab, VS detaches it from the tabs list. To put it back, you have to move it back onto the docking control. It's more an annoyance than anything but does anyone know of a way to inhibit that double-click behaviour? I know my left-hand index finger is at fault but...

    If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

          Just click the tab one time, instead of multiple times? :-\

            It is easy to stop it being silly, just un-install it. It won't bother you anymore.

              Double-click does not detach the tab for me. Dragging a tab does. Maybe you just need to change the drag sensitivity? http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2009/04/10/9541813.aspx[^]

                  No, but if you do, for gawds sake tell me! It's a PITA - I get them all organised nicely, and then - whammo - one is floating about and won't go back where I want it. Annoying "feature".

                        Personally, I have never found it to be a problem. It's merely another feature which is sometimes useful, but since I rarely double click on the tabs it doesn't bother me.

                              Dude, you've jinxed me. I can't remember the last time this happened to me in VS trying to drag tabs to different positions now undocks the file! and i've just accidentally double clicked and undocked a file

                                I fixed it but don't recall how. I'd suggest digging around in options and installing productivity power tools (2010[^] 2012[^]) if you haven't done so already. About half my make VS less elephanted fixes came from the latter so it's quite possible that what you want is there instead of baked in.

                                Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                                      No, but if you do, for gawds sake tell me! It's a PITA - I get them all organised nicely, and then - whammo - one is floating about and won't go back where I want it. Annoying "feature".

                                      Oh or you have everything arranged nicely and then something crashes and ALL of your well positioned windows and tabs and so one are gone and back to default? This happens to me from time to time.. Sometimes when I incidentally open to Visual Studio solutions at the same time. One is able to load the settings the other doesn't... guess which ones settings are saved when closing them :doh:
