If you shrink the map legend window by drag and drop with mouse until it disappeared against the left GUI border, there are not possibilities to restore the original map legend width.

In Linux I've just deleted qgis.conf in

/home/user/.config/QuantumGIS

Qgis recreates a new standard configuration file and map legend window gets its own default size.

But in Windows XP?
It seem there are not ways to restore map legend width (see figure attached)

Wish: is it possible to put in view menu: “view map legend on/off” switch?

Thanks.

Qt stores the settings in the windows registry. A workaround deleting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QuantumGIS branch in the registry editor should do the same on windows than deleting the configuration files on Linux.

You should be able to resize the legend by pressing down the (left) mouse button on the dotted line and drag to the left - which the mouse cursor tries to indicated - or doesn't that work for you?

Ok, I've tried. But it doesn't work. See avi file attached (qgis.swf).

Now it works fine for me (0.10.0).
