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

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #54078 (project octave):

OK.  So some more trial and error for a work-around.  :-)

I'm attaching a diff file that will restore the custom header file.  Of
course, we already know on linux such a change will mean we get no decorations
(that's Qt documentation).  Could you see if the same thing happens for
Windows 7?  I.e., that the decorations are lost and you are unable to
move/resize/minimize the window?  I suspect that will be the case.  If not,
then I can add a double click to the custom title bar to unfloat (dock).

I suspect this will be a bug we have to live with on Windows 7.  Although,
this bug could be tolerable if we add instead of some button, maybe a shortcut
key like Cntl-D that means "dock".  Oh, wait a second, those buttons are
actually implemented via an action--which I think is specifically created by
Qt for the purpose of unifying the "action" short-cuts.  Sure:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qaction.html#shortcut-prop

that would be an easy addition.  I'll make a separate diff file for that idea,
otherwise it will get confusing.
