Maximized editor / run in console

[HoWil]

Good afternoon,

I like to work in the maximized editor window but when I then run a
script the console takes about 70 percent of the screen. I can close
the console window or resize it.
After that when again maximizing the editor again the console takes
most of the screen.

Is it a bug or can I overcome it somehow? I also cant save a desktop
layout in when editor is maximized.

In short: I want to stay the console at the size where i have moved/
placed it even if I resize/maximize the editor several times.

Thanks in advance,
HoWil

Actually the 'plugin maximizing' feature is not intended to be used as a permanent layout. The goal is rather to provide a way to switch quickly from a non-maximized state to a maximized state (using the keyboard shortcut or the toolbar button). If you want the editor to take most of the screen, you may try to open a new editor window and close the main editor plugin, thus obtaining two main windows: one for the console and other plugins, one for the editor itself.

HTH,
Pierre
