[Eric] Missing Horizontal and Vertical Toolbox (4.5 snapshot 20110501)

[B.van_Lew at lumc.nl]

Thanks! AppData\Roaming\ - don't know why I didn't think of that. 

I've recreated the eric.ini and now the GUI is fine. I notice that my old eric.ini file is huge (120KB) compared to the new one (18KB). The main difference seems to be a large [Scintilla] section with thousands of lines.

Well the exact sequence of actions as far as I can recall was: set a breakpoint, run project debug, I think there was an error from python, then exit debug and the Toolbox views were gone. 

I'll update PyQt as per your suggestion.

Thanks again
Baldur

eric4.ini should be in the .config subdirectory of your home directory 
(actually it is in ~/.config/Eric4) on *nix systems. On Windows7 it is in 
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Eric4 (or whatever it is in your locale). 
Do you have any idea what caused this? I haven't had this issue.

That is a fairly old version and should be updated. I think PyQt 4.8.0 is 
older than Qt 4.7.0, which can cause issues.
