Delphi 2007 IDE layout modified after a crash

Question

I loaded a bad PAS/DFM file (long story), which caused a GPF, after which the IDE crashed horribly. Lost my Project-related data (list of open files, etc).

Now, when I start the IDE, it always is in "run" mode. that is, it shows the breakpoints and watches and local variables, even though no program is running. Similarly, the properties are not visible unless I use F11 to bring them up. I've restarted the IDE repeatedly. Interestingly, it still can compile and run a program.

How do I reset the IDE so that it works properly?

Answer 1

Check your layout. It's a combo box on the toolbar. It's probably set to 'Debug Layout' instead of Default or Classic (or something else if you've setup a custom layout.)
