Hello,

I've noticed that floating sticky frames don't have the same behaviour in all 4 directions. When trying to stick a pane to horizontal/vertical sides of mainframe, I get a successful snapping when dragging a pane inwards horizontally, outwards horizontally, and inwards vertically (PaneSample):

But I do not get any snapping if I drag the pane outwards vertically:

I guess this is not by design and maybe is worth correction. What do you think about this?

Thank you, in advance!

To say it more precisely:
Panes' top doesn't stick to mainframe's top
AND
Panes' bottom doesn't stick to mainframe's bottom.

Just found it. I guess these extra conditions are missing from
void CXTPDockingPaneContext::UpdateStickyFrame(CRect& rectDragFrame, CWnd* pHost) :

    if (abs(rectDragFrame.bottom - rcWork.bottom) < nGap)
    {
        rectDragFrame.OffsetRect(0, rcWork.bottom - rectDragFrame.bottom);
    }
    if (abs(rectDragFrame.top - rcWork.top) < nGap)
    {
        rectDragFrame.OffsetRect(0, rcWork.top - rectDragFrame.top);
    }

Could it be fixed in the next maintenance release, please?

I'm somewhat sad to see that this bug has neither been removed in 10.4.1, released Jan 19th, 2007. [post edited]

Yeah, sorry. I meant January. Anyway, maintaining our software versions I sometimes feel just like in a time machine...

Thank you. Indeed, this has been fixed in v10.4.2, very quickly.
