10.4 IDE Cuts Off Component Toolbar

I downloaded latest Delphi IDE (10.4) and installed it. I turned off the embedded designer and set the layout to Classic Undocked.
Now the toolbar, in fact everything in the top form, is cut off. Can't see the save icons, run button or anything else. Also can't expand the form to make it taller.
If I change to startup layout it will let me expand the form, but I prefer Classic Undocked. Has anyone else had this yet and, more importantly, does anyone know a workaround?
I stumbled on a workaround for this problem. Here are the steps that makes the entire tool panel visible for me in Classic Undocked mode for Delphi 10.4 Sydney (on Win 7):
Grab the right edge of the top form (Classic Toolbar) and resize it slightly (make sure it is in Resizeable mode, not Full Screen). Zap! now everything works. Not only that, it appears to remember the "lesson" permanently once this has been done once - it is a complete and permanent fix.
This bug should be trivial for Embarcadero to fix.

Delphi XE7 IDE replaces my text as I type

Hi guys I have a big problem
Somehow I must have set the Delphi XE7 IDE to replace my next text as I type for example:
if I have typed StToInt into the IDE (Which is obviously wrong), then put my curser after the first t and then press r the IDE will now show StroInt (replaces the T with the r) an not StrToInt
it does this with all my text
How do I set this back to normal?
Please help, it will be greatly appreciated.
Press the Ins key on your keyboard to toggle between insert and overwrite mode.
Note that the status bar at the bottom of the IDE editor window displays either Insert or Overwrite depending which mode is currently active.

Delphi editor. Cursor style

I changed Delphi editor background color to dark-grey. Sorry, I cannot post image because I have not some reputation on this forum.
But this color hides mouse cursor. How to change cursor style\color in editor window?
I cannot find any cursor options in Delphi IDE settings.
There are no cursor settings in the IDE because the IDE uses the system cursors. The system cursors can be changed from the control panel. You might consider whether or not the background colour of an IDE should be driving your system cursor choice.

Is there a way to organize Delphi XE2/XE5 tabs editor in multitabs?

I have a lot of files to keep open, and the current single line of tabs is just difficult. I see that GExperts and CNPack does not have that (unless I missed that).
Is there any trick to achieve that, or any other suggestion that I could have more tabs visible?
The TIDEGradientTabSet (if it's still used in modern Delphi) doesn't support multiline view, so the only option for those IDE experts could be making own tab set control hiding the original one.
Alternatives are:
On the far right of the tabs is a small down arrow. Press that, and you'll see a list of all the files that are open in the editor;
Pressing Ctrl+B will open up a dialog to select a tab;
TMS has a free tool AltTab but it did not get update for while. That was exactly what was needed for Delphi IDE;

How to make the Messages panel to disappear after I successfully compile a project?

In Delphi XE, how to make the Messages panel to disappear after I successfully compile a project?
That was the default behavior in Delphi 7. In Delphi XE it says 'success' and it leaves that box open.
In XE, Messages is not a message box but a dockable window and as such it won't disappear automatically.
Workaround: Close the Messages window and save the desktop (click on the button next to the Classic Undocked in the toolbar). After each recompile you can then reselect saved desktop by clicking into drop-down list with desktop name (Classic Undocked) and pressing Enter on the keyboard.
Like Delphi 7 you can check the box under the window of compiler process.
