Looks very good, one issue though: After maximising, I expected the "restore" like icon to get back to the state I was previously, but it seemed to pop-out instead which was very unexpected. It seems I should have chosen "minimize" looking icon instead, which doesn't minimize but instead puts back to tiled size. Also, when closing a pop-out I would expect it to re-integrate rather than closing completely, but perhaps…

Cheers. It's true, there is no "minimizing" as such, it's just a toggle between maximised and original state. Similarly the close icon does close a popout window, popping it back in can be done via the button in the bottom right

I found after a mixture of tear out and maximizing and minimizing the widgets end up half way down the page.

To reproduce (Chrome 49.0.x): Take "Fnts 100" maximize, undock, redock, meximize (repeat if needed).

The demos don't work on my iPad Pro...

1. Long pressing on a window title brings a smaller window under my finger and when I let go the window disappears.

2. I can maximize the window, but when I try to restore/minimize I get a new CodePen window opening.

3. On a stack, when I tap a tab, it highlights, but I can't get it to activate. Long pressing does the same as (1) and also appears to rearrange the tabs.

https://terminal.sexy/ is a better demo of Golden Layout's capabilities.

Very nice working example but I don't understand why they would maintain the X to close modules when it is so easy to close required functionality (like Save). Are you unable to remove the Close button and they had to add "Reset Layout" to get around it? To me most of those modules shouldn't be permitted to be closed.
