I'm with David. I've already said a couple times, and I'm saying it again : the panes are great!
After all the work you've put on the panes, the bug reports might be a bit discouraging! But... Making the panes work is **worth it**!
Panes make it easier to efficiently juggle multiple grids/calendars/HTML panes/gantts/, etc.
Right now, they help me to solve the problem of keeping different types of grids around, simultaneously. On my small laptop screen, I now structure my working space on all four sides :
1- general task/dodos and various mnemotechnic algorithms grids on the left side (autohide)
2- general projects, goals/objectives, calendar and "filter" grids at the bottom (autohide)
3- properties, HTML and script editor on the right. (autohide)
4- And... at the top (main tab workspace) : all the specific projects etc. I'm working on.
For someone with ADHD tendencies (or something like that), it helps a lot. Believe me. ... InfoQube is actually becoming a real Qube!
PS: I would've never dared to ask for that feature -- sensing that it wouldn't be trivial to implement ! -- but someone did and we can now all take advantage of it!
Thanks for those encouraging words. It isn't easy and I've spent an insanely long amount of time on this focus issue...
In the next version, I'll implement panes inside tabs, so each tab will be able to have a different setups. This will I believe even more useful. Wish me luck !

IMO the new pane changes have been transformative. I was going to say "for power users" but for practical purposes anyone who uses IQ is probably a power user and likes these types of features. Personally I'd rather live with a few minor bugs as long as they aren't "data threatening", but I do understand the issues that could cause depending on what they are. At a minimum I sure hope we won't lose the ability to keep the home page in a pane. It works incredible and I don't want to go back .
Pierre, when you are always so responsively turning out fixes I sometimes hate to report bugs as I fear giving the impression I'm asking to have them fixed (quickly). Rather I'm just reporting them as I experience them so I don't forget. Along those lines, the 87b patch seems to have fixed the "floating pane" command as far as the keyboard shortcuts, but the toolbar command only works to float the pane, but not reattach it.
Thanks, and if you fix this this weekend instead of enjoying it, I'm going to yell at you .
