TextPad 4 still supported MDI and its huge advantage was that I was able to freely position all windows inside TextPad. With TextPad 5 this was dropped, and I always wondered which reasons for this apply:
supporting MDI causes too much work
it was because of introducing appearance/skins/themes
other reason.
Handling multiple documents side by side since then has become a bit cumbersome. It kind of works, but it's just not what it used to be.
TextPad is still an MDI app. I wouldn't use it if it wasn't. But windows can't be overlapped if document tabs are turned on. I use the document selector instead.

I thought "this implies I can disable tabs - but where" and then tried menu "View" > "Document Tabs". Wow, never recognized this. Thanks alot. Much better now.
