Oxygen 8.2 Blank pane inadvertently created - how to fix?

With Oxygen 8.2 build 2007052511 on Windows XP Pro, I've managed to get the GUI into a state where I have a persistent blank area Image

I caused it by some combination of dragging editing tabs around to split them into multiple adjacent panes. At one stage I had two panes stacked on the left and one on the right with a persistent area under the two on the left. When I dragged them from their own split pane to merge as tabs with the rightmost pane, I ended up with a blank area that won't go away - the attached image shows the minimum size I can reduce it to.

Quitting and relaunching Oxygen has no effect.

Help!

thanks

Dear Andy,

Oxygen uses a third party framework for docking the editors and views.
I reproduced the problem too by opening a couple of files and dragging and docking each of them to the right margin.
After the last one was docked the "blank area" appeared.
We will contact and inform them about this problem.
There are 2 solutions for this:

1) Go to the "Perspective" menu and choose "Reset layout". This should revert all views and editors to their initial state

2) Drag all editors and dock them over the blank area.

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Radu

Thanks for the prompt response, the Perspective - Reset Layout was exactly what I was looking for!
