Hmm, never noticed this before.  Do you close all your forms before exiting FF or something?  Closing the Project or the Window itself should be all that is needed...no problem keeping forms/tabs open when closing.  If all forms are closed, how would FF know what to do when View Form/Code is clicked?

Not that it really matters to me - but FF does know. Just close all forms an module of a project and you will see that the bottom tab bar will remain visible. And if you click on Form/Code nothing happens, similar if you click on it while a module is the active document.

It is only if you start FF and no document is visible that the bottom tab bar is not shown.

Hadn't noticed that so far, but won't bug me either.

Interesting, if it shows before closing and not when it opens, sounds like an "undocumented feature" that needs fixed to me.  Thinking about it now, I think I remember during beta we had an issue when forms were closed and the form/code view was clicked crashing, so he fixed it then to ignore if no active form.  So, he just needs to move whatever activates the tabs to when FF starts instead of only when a form shows.

This is not a bug. But we will FF3 still improve further.   ;D
