    Description

      We nowadays have a bunch of soft loadable plugins. Enabling them allows to just load and use them without restarting QC.

      While this is functionwise fine for the most plugins it may have some drawbacks regarding the UI in general.

      Global actions or stuff where UI gets enhanced by elements will likely end up having a different order / location compared to when QC gets restarted.

      E.g. Axivion plugin

      • Analyze menu now adds the Axivion entry not at the first pos
      • Debugger tool bar does not add Axivion after Debugger and DAP
        (same goes for the "hidden" submenu on the Debug view button)

       

      This is likely the case for other plugins as well, but these issues may be solvable by using priorities or similar on these elements.

       

      It might take some time to identify all "issues" and fix them accordingly.
