[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40485] (MinGW) Undocked (editor) pane position not rembered across restart

[Torsten]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #40485 (project octave):

The behavior seems to depend on the window manager. When inverting the "#if
define (Q_OS_WIN32)" statements, i.e. using the handling of floating widgets
for windows on my linux system I get the following:
* A floating and hidden widget is still hidden after a restart
* When activating this window it is shown docked 

Attached a patch that explicitly hides a floating widget at startup before it
is eventually shown depending on the visibility stored in the settings. From
the docs a widget is automatically hidden when unparented (what is done here)
but this is obviously not the case on your system.
