[FIXED] MP 0.20 Win - Preview lost completely after 1 click

I have just clicked [x] to close expanded preview window and now it's greyed out and I can't enable preview. Perhaps it's possible somehow but I don't know how.
XnViewMP Version 0.20 (Sep 25 2009), Windows Vista 32 bit SP2.
Edit: Workaround to enable preview:
prevDocked=false
...but it's not perfect, preview is just as a tab together with the file info (properties, exif...), so it's still broken.
Any idea how to re-enable preview without removing the ini file?

I have the same problem. Preview panel displays and can be dragged around, but no preview image appears in it.
Restarting the program re-enables the Preview.

I saw the preview image in the window, but when I've closed it, I couldn't re-enable it, only partially by editing the ini file.

Any idea how to re-enable the preview without re-configure all the settings?

Thanks, I tried that already, but it doesn't work, the only workaround that help a bit is:
prevDocked=false
This way preview is visible, but only as a tab.
Few screenshots...
No change, old ini, preview is missing completely...
[Preview] section removed, preview is still missing...
Changed item in ini [Preview] section - prevDocked=false, preview is visible, but only as a tab...
What I want is a separate "Preview" pane together with "Info" pane, like this (fresh xnview.ini)...

Done!!!
Steps to re-enable preview:
- menu - view - layout - free
- right click on "Info" title tab
- select "dettach* preview panel"
* shouldn't be this "detach"?
Anyway, there should be easier way to do it IMHO.
