This is a cosmetic thing I noticed with 5.5 beta1.
When maximizing a chart in a workspace; the "detach, min, max, close" icons (see: before.jpg) seem to move over to the middle of the standard main toolbar (see: after.jpg) instead of the big empty area on the extreme right of the workspace as I would expect (see: expected.jpg).

Hi Robert,
It is simply a matter of how you have toolbars arranged. If there is enough room under the main minimize, maximize, close icons the respective chart icons will be placed right under them. Please see the attached screenshot.

Hi Marina,
It doesn't seem to work for me.
WithToolbars.jpg - I seem to have plenty of space and yet the little icon thingy still wants to be all the way on the left side.
MiddleToolbars.jpg - When I get rid of most of the toolbars and place the remaining toolbar in the middle of the window, it still seems to want to be the left-most item to the toolbar.
RightToolbars.jpg - When I put the toolbars on the right vertical side of the screen, the little icon thingy starts to act "normal". As long as I have no toolbars to the right of the icon thingy, it seems to be ok.
WithOutToolbars.jpg - Of course, the final solution, NO TOOLBARS, and Voila! It works perfectly!
Since no one else seems to be having these problems, I am assuming I have a registry entry wrong or something like that. Does anyone else have this problem or am I the only one?

Hi Marina,
Ok, thanks for the info. I think I committed a "typical user" error then.
(Beta tester questions - strictly rhetorical)
1. Why am I allowed to place toolbars in an area that the program is not expecting them to be and thus create this confusing situation for the user?
2. Can there be an exception to the rule for the detach, minimize, maximize, close buttons and always place them to the extreme right of all objects?
3. How come you are working on a Friday? this place is usually deader than a door nail on Fridays...
