X4 SP1 reverts to tabbed documents on MDI restore

[teach1st]

PSP x4 SP1, EDIT view. I disabled tabbed documents. If I minimize a pic or pics and then restore, the pic or pics restore into tabs. When I subsequently go to Window >Tabbed Document and click, all of the pics cascade (ignoring my preference to have the MDI windows fit the pictures). The Window > Tabbed Documents command is never unchecked throughout all of this. I can't make it be unchecked - it remains checked.

Palettes that I don't use open seemingly at random on my custom workspace after restarting the software, even though I have the NEVER automatically show palettes option set in preferences

I had given up on x4, but I thought I'd try the service pack. Corel did fix the copy/paste offset error. But, after a few hours of configuring (again) and playing with SP1, I still think that x4 is not ready for prime time. I feel that it is a waste of upgrade money and a regrettable waste of my time.

You aren't alone in disliking the Tabbed Documents annoyance!
I have complained loudly and many times, but it hasn't had much effect as you can see.
The previous way of being able to use a Restore Down button was excellent, now you can't.
I will keep complaining and hope it has some effect, although I am not holding my breath.
Otherwise I think X4 is ok, I use it as the main editor now, in preference to X2 which is very slow compared to X4.

I think this is similar to the tabbed issue when opening multiple images and this have been reported already.
