A few points:

Preferences -> Window Management -> Window Positions -> Save window positions on exit ... may perhaps not be checked?

...I have the Tool Options...left of the Dockable Dialogs

Tool Options is a Dockable Dialog...

Perhaps the Tool Options dialog is not actually docked onto the left of the three other vertical docks, but is merely next to it...? (https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-concepts-docks.html --- especially: - Figure 3.8. Anchoring a dialog to a dock border, - Tab menu -> Detach Tab
- Tab menu -> Lock Tab to Dock)

It looks like you perhaps are using Single Window mode - I am not personally sure of how that affects things in your case...

Subject: [Gimp-user] Tool Options windows position not remembered

Hi,

I have arranged the Gimp windows in a way that I have the Tool Options to the right of the workspace, but still left of the Dockable Dialogs (see attached image). However, when I restart Gimp, the positions have swapped. Suddenly I have the Dockable DIalogs left of the Tool Options.

Is anyone else having that issue? Does anyone know why this is happening and how to resolve it? Is there a way to make Gimp remember the positions of the windows?

Thanks for any help or advise.

I'm running Gimp version 2.8.22 on Fedora 25.
