Gimp not return to multiple windows after using single window mode - Pat625 - 09-26-2017
I have had Gimp 2.8.22 for some time now without major problems but lately I notice the two tool docks hang up for about 15-30 seconds after closing the large image window. I tried the single window mode and now I cannot get back to the multi window mode. I have the image window, and the two tool docks are together as one. I have not been able to break them apart.
I wonder if this has something to do with the large windows updates that I get every once in awhile. I had one not long before this trouble with Gimp. I use Windows 10.
Has anyone had trouble or know what to do about it?

Tried to uncheck Windows>Single-Window mode?

You need to reset to the default setup
Edit -> Preferences -> Window Management then click the 'Reset Saved Window Positions to Default Values'
OK that and restart Gimp
The switch between multi-window mode and single-window mode (and back) is very dependent on the position of the windows
A bit about it here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-Installation see the second video

Thank you very much, Rich. That worked. Now I will know what to do if it happens again!
