[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54078] No more dock button on undocked panes

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #54078 (project octave):

@Torsten:
No I have left that setting alone (= inactive). Changing it has no effect.
Setting or unsetting "show status bar" also has no effect.

BTW I found a workaround for redocking; I also have 4.4.0 installed, and that
still has a dock button. As 4.4.0 and 5.0.0 share the qt-settings file I can
have undocked panes redocked in 5.0.0 by docking them in 4.4.0, exiting 4.4.0
and starting 5.0.0. Involved, but it helps :-)
(And it shows that the missing dock button is a recent phenomenon, i.e., from
after 4.4.0)

@Dan:
in <mxe-octave>/... /qtbase.mk:
:
$(PKG)_VERSION  := 5.7.1
:

As to the Qt bug reports: I'm too unfamiliar with Qt programming to fully
grasp them, but
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-30692
looks like what I see.
The other bug report doesn't ring a bell with me, sorry.

As to "dock all":
Could be convenient for last-chance rescue cases, yes; but I think a better
alternative would be to have a separate dock/undock command for each
individual pane in the main menu's Window drop-down menu. Or maybe a tick box
"docked" or so after the pane name in that Window menu.
IIRC Matlab has that too, at least for some panes.
