It also happens on v13. I took a screenshot of both PL/SQL Developers and their re-displayed windows side-by-side... if there's somewhere I can email it, I will.

Will that version co-exist with 11.0.6? As much as I would prefer to keep up with the current versions, I haven't been able to justify the cost; I can't upgrade if 11.0.6 isn't accessible when the trial is over (upgrades have made significant changes to ini/prefs files in the past... best-case...

PL/SQL Developer v11.0.6 (64-bit) Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) on Core i7-3520M@2.9GHz, 16 GB RAM NVIDIA Quadro K2000M v25.21.14.2531 (425.31, 10Apr2019) Three monitors: Lenovo Laptop LCD @1920x1080, ASUS PA238 @2560x1440 (primary), Samsung T240 @1920x1200 Recently, PL/SQL Developer has...

Believe it or not, I haven't had any issues - and it's been six months, now? Most apps (e.g. our antivirus software) are smart enough not to follow junctions, as they know the underlying directory is controlled/monitored elsewhere. I don't know if my company keeps a roaming profile or not, so...

Damn. You got me... I unplugged my second monitor and opened up PLSD, and the session wrote to the root directory :cry: And you're right, junctioning subdirectories like that puts the entire universe in danger :( This will still work, but we're now officially into HPIMA territory :crazy...

I had configurations in the root folder, as well... trying to remember what I did with those. It may have just worked because I moved everything to the Monitors-All subfolder. It may have also had something perversely to do with the fact that I set "save layout per multi monitor setup" to...

So here's how I got around this :mad: 1. Download Hermann Schinagl's Link Shell Extension: http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html#download 2. Follow the installation instructions, including the VC redistributables (mind whether installing 64- or 32-bit) 3...

So I finally got around to upgrading from 11.0.5 to 11.0.6 (x64), and the installer replaced the default.ini file with a brand new file dated 2008/11/27. So thanks for that. I lost all of my preferences, because I kept them in the default profile. It looks like there's a backup in that...

Nah, never mind - seems to completely ignore this setting :mad:

So I just noticed today that there's a checkbox to disable this in Preferences -> User Interface -> Options: "Save Layout Per Multi Monitor Setup". Testing that now to see if it behaves as expected. If that's the case, it would've been nice if someone at AA would've pointed it out by now :(

There's a set of config files in each of the folders (including the root PL/SQL Developer temp directory) called desktop.... they are completely different in each folder, so I can't just merge the folders :(

This was mentioned in another topic here, but that question was focused on a different cause for the issue. PL/SQL Developer suddenly stopped restoring previously opened files at startup - as if it had lost the recovery files in the PLS-Recovery directory. When I investigated, I found that...

I guess not... :(

WOW!!! We've been banging our heads against this for weeks - checking our indexing, pulling in the DBAs - because the queries we were using suddenly tanked for no explainable reason. I would never have suspected PL/SQL Developer would be behind it, but that coincided with our upgrade. Wow...

I can't think why it wouldn't, but I get why others would think it shouldn't. If it's going to check and warn me, though, I don't see the harm in just copying the files over.
