never had this problem.

I just hate when undocking I'm facing my ship when I want to see what's usually waiting for me outside.

This is a problem for me too. Really annoying. It strikes me as seriously bad programming when the most basic function in a system, window generation, is borked... I have said this many times before : if they can't generate windows without problems, what else is broken that we can't see ?

I would like info on when this will be fixed, please.

Yep windows close everytime I DC, You know every 10 or 15 minutes.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

Same issue here.

I've actually had it before, way back in the mists of EVE history. Never this bad though.

I presume it's related to the removal of "Pin Window", which apparently only changes the look of a window now instead of actually making it hold it's place.

It's an issue which is giving me no small amount of headaches, all of my windows are aligned in a specific manner in a specific place. Undocking just seems to shuffle them around.

However, as a very quick work-around try setting your "window snap distance" off, it should help stop them moving around on session change. It won't help you align them initially though..

I can imagine the bot users having a problem with this, assuming their program is OCR based. This could very well be a clever trick. Twisted

I had this problem too. When you're logged in, hit the escape button to go to settings. There's a "snap to grid" button somewhere in there. Switch that off. This has worked as far as I know. It worked on mine.
