Property Editor dialog
The line for "General properties", "Layer" the line is too narrow, so you do not see the layer name when the Property Editor is pinned to the side.
(see attachments below):
Can the line be extended (for example, align left)?

Hi cqman - welcome to the QCAD forum,
use a "left click and hold" action on the left border on your Widget (Property Editor) and pull the width to what ever fits your needs.cqman wrote:The line for "General properties", "Layer" the line is too narrow,

Yes, it is possible. But opening a new drawing = the same procedure.
The width of the side panel can not be locked.

QCAD should save the position. On which OS you are? Has the folder which contains the qcad3.ini write permission?cqman wrote:Yes, it is possible. But opening a new drawing = the same procedure.

User "..." has admin privileges and full access to file and folder.
Term "Width" occurs in [PageSettings] - PaperWidth, [ShapeRectangleSize] - Width, [Appearance] - Width.
Which line to look for?

You are sure you installed the 32 bit and not the 64 bit system?cqman wrote:OS is Windows10 (32 bit)
You haven't mixed QCAD installations in the same Folder. Note, a QCAD installation or update belongs always in an empty folder!
Last idea - run QCAD in Administrator Mode / make your changes and close QCAD. Start it again and see what happens to your changes.
To run QCAD in Win 10 directly in administrator Mode click with the right mouse button on the QCAD shortcut and chose "Run as Administrator".

Re: Property Editor dialog
Yes, the system is 32 bit due to compatibility with other programs.
I'm afraid, the suggested way is not the best solution if we want to keep the small side panel width.
More efficient would be to edit script files:
---
...\scripts\Widgets\PropertyEditor\PropertyEditor.js
...\scripts\Widgets\PropertyEditor\PropertyEditor.ui
and parameters
<property name="alignment">
<set>Qt::AlignRight|Qt::AlignTrailing|Qt::AlignVCenter</set>
Note "AlingLeft" is missing?
<property name="minimumSize">
<size> <width>50</width>
---
But I do not have enough experience to interfere with the script
so as not to completely change the appearance of the dialogue.

Re: Property Editor dialog
Property Panel is one of the most used dialogues in CAD programs.
It is possible to organize the Property Panel so that it is more user-friendly
and mainly occupy a small width (if it is pinned to the left or right side).
For example, I'm attaching the Autocad Property Panel below.
Two major differences:
The "Layer" entry contains only the layer name
The "Color" entry contains only sample 10x10 px (QCad 30x10 px)
Note Line item names are aligned to the left (Qcad to the right)
