[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53276] GUI: undocked panes cannot be moved, or resized along upper border

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #53276 (project octave):

There does seem to be something strange there, but slightly different on
Cinnamon.  At first blush, the cursor icon and behavior are as expected.  But
if I select the top edge of the undocked frame so that the "resize" icon
appears and drag down the window size down *then* let go and slightly move the
cursor down to the Octave-added label line (and not move the mouse anywhere
outside of that label line), click and the window frame will drag resize again
without a change in the cursor icon similar to what you are describing.

Could you describe again exactly what the behavior is with dragging to
reposition the window?  There is something like this:


-------------------------------
conventional window line
-------------------------------
octave's added label line
-------------------------------


content


-------------------------------


Is there some type of difference between clicking/dragging in the conventional
window line and the added label line?

Actually, I would like to get rid of that added label line when the dockable
widget goes into undocked mode.  We can do that now pretty easily at one of
the base-class levels; it would mean moving the dock/undock/close buttons up
to the main window.  To me, that line is redundant when undocked (both lines
say something like "Variable Editor") and just takes up a little space that
could be used for the content.
