[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54078] No more QDockWidget title bar and dock button on undocked panes under Windows

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #19, bug #54078 (project octave):

With the diff in comment #13 I now see this:

* Undocked panes no longer have a title bar. That title bar could be used to
drag the pane around on the desktop, so dragging is no more possible.

* Double-clicking the title bar now works for docking / undocking. For
undocked panes there's no more way to maximize the  pane to full desktop  /
minize to taskbar button/ restore pane size.

* Undocked panes have a toolbar with a working "dock" button.

* The undocked Variable Editor pane can be right-clicked to get a command
"Variable editor toolbar" that works to enable/disable the toolbar.

* Undocked panes have no clear border indicating where the "grip are" is for
resizing panes. Before the patch the cursor changed shape into a proper resize
cursor. With the patch it doesn't change. Attached is a photo of the screen
(can't take screen shot as then the cursor is hidden) where the cursor is in
the lower right position to resize the screen.

Similarly to the latter bullet's contents, there are no visible borders
between docked panes to make it easy to target the mouse cursor position for
resizing panes (but that is already a long time). See 2nd & 3rd attached pic,
also photographs, where the invisible border between workspace and variable
editor is only indicated by the resize cursor (cursor does change for undocked
panes) in an otherwise completely flat gray area.

(Sorry for the moiré in the last ics, unavoidable when making photos from PC
screens.)

FYI I've applied the comment # 13 patch right after updating the Dan's mega
patch from 5 weeks back.
(Remarkable that such a tiny patch can make so much functional visual
difference)
