Minor GUI annoyance on launch

Hi listers,

Contentedly using Netbeans 14 as my Java/Gradle coding IDE.

Just wondering if anyone has also encountered and/or found a resolution 
for a very small but reliably irritating anomaly I keep having... at IDE 
launch the vertical divider for the split between left-hand side panels 
and the editor window is always positioned at an impractical location 
far too close to the left margin, so I must drag it right every time I 
launch. Clearly not a major issue, just a tedious extra thing to do 
every time, and one that seems like it should be an easy fix.

I only recently started with a completely fresh NB config, and I'm 
somewhat reluctant to start over again to configure everything as 
preferred. I'm hoping it's just a setting which can be tweaked in some 
config file.

Thanks,
Stan

Excellent, thanks Neil, can't believe I hadn't noticed that option in 
the menus previously, and it seems to resolve the issue as hoped. I've 
also thought in the past it was possibly due to a multi-monitor setup, 
as I usually use my MBP with a larger external monitor, but I'm now on 
the road with just the laptop, and did the config reset while on this 
setup. Anyhow, I now have a resolution, so thanks again.

I've seen this a few times, but not sure whether it's to do with using
document tab groups or different monitor setups.  At least, seems to
me to stem from one or other.

You don't need to reconfigure all settings.  Just do `Window / Reset
Windows` to get back to the default window layout.

Best wishes,

Neil
