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

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #46, bug #53276 (project octave):

I see no differences, nor different behavior, between the patches of comment
#31 and comment #36, on Linux KDE/Plasma.

For some reason the Documents pane works very messy. 
Undocking and redocking sometimes gives a remnant undocked pane. Moving it
outside the tabbed CLI/Doc pane and later moving it back into tabbed position
leads to a hang and then crash (signal 11).
(Maybe related to geometry settings somewhere?)
AFAICS the other panes work better. 

What I do see *on Windows* is that with both patches the dock button in the
undocked "main" panels is gone, so there's no more way to re-dock them into
the main window.
(Subpanels from the VE still do have such a button so they can be redocked in
the VE.)

Well, what to do? 
I'm unsure because you have spent so much time on an issue which AFAIU is
mainly due to a specific window manager.
Again, before those patches it all worked but it was just not obvious how;
except for resizing undocked panes along the upper border that still doesn't
work.
