New to Python and Spyder. How do I reposition the panes in Spyder. I had them set with the editor in the upper left, the object inspector in the upper right, and the ipython console in the lower left. Somehow I messed it up, and can't figure out how to reposition them. Have crawled all over the web, but no joy.

Thanks

In the Spyder 4.0+ version, go to View menu, unselect "lock panes and toolbars" then you can drag the top area of each pane and move them freely.
