I'm using Delphi 11 and many time when I click the "Run without debugging" button, my program starts to execute. When I close my program, some Delphi IDE panels are missing. It looks like this:
This is my Delphi IDE version.
Is this a bug or a configuration? I can't find an option that controls this behavior. I can't make the missing panels show up again, and I have to restart the IDE.
This is a known bug in Delphi 11. Fix for this issue will be released with 11.1 update.

At some point, my IDE Insight function stopped working. I have checked both the XE5 and XE6 versions that I have on my system and neither work, so it must be environmental.
When I click on the menu item, nothing pops up. There is no error given, just no IDE Insert screen. The same results happen when using the shortcut.
I am running Windows 7, Delphi Professional XE5 and XE6.
Anyone know how to fix this?
The IDE Insight window was removed in XE5. Instead, there's an edit box top right of the screen (Ctrl+. gives it the focus) that you type into and get a dropdown list of commands to pick from in response.
This is documented in What's New in Delphi and C++Builder XE5.
I'm running win 7(64Bit) Delphi XE3,
When I open a project in my old Delphi XE, it would open all the forms I had opened when I saved the project last.
How can I make XE3 have the same action ?
Obviously a simple question, but I can't find the setting to save the layout in XE3.
You have to turn it on in Tools->Options->Environment Options. This is from XE3, but it's the same spot it's been in since Delphi 2 or 3:
Just check the Project desktop item.
In Delphi 10 and 11, the option has been moved to Tools->Options->IDE->Saving and Desktop:
I think you need to set the "Project desktop" option in "Environment options" -> "Autosave options" (thats where the option is in D2010, but I think it hasn't changed for XE3).
UPDATE
OK, had a moment to check out the wiki - see the Environment Options topic.
I'm having a really strange problem with the Delphi 6 IDE running on Windows 7 (64-bit edition). I just can't find the Code Explorer window pane. Usually it's docked against the left side of the Code Editor window. If not there, then you can find it by opening the View menu and selecting Code Explorer. But the Code Explorer is not docked to the Code Editor and when I drop down the View Menu the Code Explorer option is simply not there. All the other options are: Project Manager, Object Inspector, Object TreeView, etc. but just not the Code Explorer. Everything else about the IDE works great. Has anybody else had this problem and if so, what can I do to get it back? I rely on that view quite heavily.
Also, once I undock a view it doesn't seem to want to dock again. I hover over the usual areas in the edit window and it won't accept it the orphaned view as a docking client.

I can't reproduce the missing Code Explorer menu item. It works fine for me.
Regarding the non-dockable windows have you tried right clicking on the troublesome floating window and making sure that Dockable is ticked?
One thing to try when Delphi's IDE is giving you grief is to delete any .dsk files.
Finally, Delphi 6 pre-dates UAC and assumes that you can write to the installation directory. Have you made sure that Delphi is able to do this one way or another?
Sorry I don't have a definitive answer, but this is all I can think of.
For the record,
I had the same problem as you Robert.
Configuration:
Delphi 6 Enterprise, installed to a custom location.
Update Pack 2
Several Third Party Components
Windows 7, Spanish and English languages in Regional and language settings, and keyboard layout settings. Default language 'spanish',
default keyboard distribution 'english'.
Issues:
No 'code explorer' context menu item,
In editor, no 'complete class at cursor'.
Ctrl+Shift+C not working
Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down Arrow not working.
I uninstalled Delphi, uninstalled English language, removed keymappings to change keyboard layout (Ctrl+Shift).
Then I installed Delphi again, custom location, execute the installer as administator -> no issues.
I installed the third party components -> no issues
To install the update pack, this time, I opened the exe with winrar, decompressed the file, changed the files 'setup.exe', '_ISDel.exe' and '_BDEL.EXE' to execute always as administrator for all users. Run 'setup.exe' as administrator.
I don't know exactly which step did the trick but now I have no Issues.
I just tried with Delphi 6 on Win64, and have all the windows. And all expected menu items. Sometimes, there is some problems of refresh, but when I restart the IDE, everything is back there.
But I've installed:
Delphi 6 Suite Entreprise;
Update pack 2;
DDevExtension;
Delphi SpeedUp;
CnPack.
All is installed not in C:\Program Files but in a custom C:\Progs directory, which has all security rights set for all authenticated users. You should not install Delphi 6 under C:\Program Files, in all cases.
Works like a charm. Perhaps one of the add-ons fixed the issue.
Has someone else experienced something like this with Delphi and if so is there a known workaround!
I'm using the Delphi 2010 Rad Studio on Windows 7 64 bit.
A few times when editing the IDE hangs and I can't do any action either by keyboard or mouse. But there is a error-beep sound from windows like there is a modal window open somewhere, but hidden behind the ide it self.
Only by ending the ide via Task manager can I make this hidden modal window visible.
I see this often with various other dialogs as well.
Pressing "Alt-Tab" and reselecting Delphi you will cause the dialog to appear in the front again.
Note: This happens with other versions of Delphi as well.
I have the same problem with older versions of Delphi like D6.
My solution is use another tool like WinExp –Windows Explorer– or WinResQ to explore the existing active windows on system and reactivate it (BringToTop).
With this solution I get the Delphi IDE on Top and appears the window that cause the lock. This is the only option I have worked for me.
Regards.
Alt+Tab works, but you have to select another application, then Alt+Tab to return to Delphi, and then the dialog will show in front.
I have a lot of errors in structure panel. The application compiles and run fine with Delphi 2007. But the code have much code that have red underlines. If I press Ctrl + leftclick on it it finds the original declaration. But it is still annoying to have all those errors.
These are well-known IDE bugs. Have you tried the IDE Fix Pack?
I have IDE Fix Pack installed, and still get incorrect error insight red lines regularly.
Some things which help (temporarily)
Close the project and delete *.local and *.identcache, then re-open the project.
When Loading a project, wait for the code-folding lines in the gutter to appear (before Delphi 2009, this indicates that the background compiler is finished)
I am assuming you just want all the red underlines to go away:
Tools | Options | Editor Options | Code Insight
Then uncheck Error insight
That is for Delphi 2010, but I think it is very similar in Delphi 2007, but I don't currently have it installed.
