Follow-up Comment #14, bug #53893 (project octave):

Well, what I said in Comment #13 should really be disregarded.  The way that I
put the GUI into that state was by switching between Fusion and Oxygen in the
system Widget style setting.  Making the switch (either to Fusion or to
Oxygen) causes this odd behavior where floating a V.E. subpanel makes it
disappear.  Let's not worry about what happens to Qt with system level changes
and assume that the user must relaunch the application after making such a
change.  Relaunching corrects the issue.

The one issue I see still is that if a variable panel of the *docked) V.E. is
floated, and then the V.E. itself is floated, the association between the
floated variable and the V.E. is lost.  Instead the associated goes to the GUI
main window.  That is, only when the GUI main window has focus does the
variable sub-panel appear.  Docking then undocking the variable subpanel fixes
that association.

In KDE Plasma I've added three workspaces but see no bad effects as you
describe.  I've even moved the Variable Editor to another workspace.  Typing
"openvar x" will switch to the workspace where the V.E. exists.

I'll keep thinking...
