Live CSS will not Stay in Place with Calibre 6

JSWolf · 07-21-2022, 07:33 AM

I'm using Calibre 6.1. I have an issue with the live CSS window in the editor. I have the preview on the right side at the top. On the right at the bottom is the live CSS. I move the live CSS to where I want it and all is fine while I am in that editor session. I exit and when I do use the editor again, the live CSS has slid down and not stayed in the same place.

Here is the LiveCSS as I want it.

Here is the LiveCSS after reopening the editor.

Can this please be fixed? Thanks.

I'm afraid restoration of widget positions is handled entirely by Qt, there isnt anything I can do to influence it as far as I know.

I hope the maintainers of QT fix this.
