      I’d finished my plugin using the demo template for Delphi & Lazarus, and i’m basically absolutely happy with the results.
      Unfortunately sometimes my docking form’s toolbar looses the trigger to be painted.

      When does this occur constantly?
      If i open “Find in Files” (via Ctrl+Shift+F, or via plugin’s toolbutton) and do a “Search all”.
      A docked window keeping the search result(s) will open - and the toolbar ‘disappears’: it appears to be empty - only the panel is shown, without buttons.

      Will the toolbar not be drawn at all?
      Not quite: if i move the mouse over a toolbutton, this single toolbutton will be (re-)painted.

      Will this never end before a next restart?
      Basically not. Unless i minimize/restore the NotePad++ window, or force a redraw of the docking form by moving the vertical splitter.
      Then the drawing is back again.
      But - if the search result window is still open at that time and i close it now, then i’ll have an empty toolbar again.

      Is such scenario already known somehow, and are there belonging notifications to reactivate the drawing?
      Does a notification exist that informs about the appearance or disappearance of such docked subdialogs?
      (If i’d know this i could enforce a repaint myself).
