Hi,

using gimp 2.6.6 I pulled the tool options dlg off the toolbox. Now it won't dock back in.

the space says "you can drop dockable dialogs here" but nothing happens when I do. I remain with two independant windows.

I was explaining to someone over the phone , theirs went back , mine didn't. I'm wondering if this is a WM issue. I'm using xfce4

/gg

This isn't really gimp-developer material, but gimp-user material.

Anway, you are not dragging the WM window title bar, right? You should be dragging the dockable title itself (which is within the window). Yes I know, this sucks, but that's what we have right now.

Well I posted it here because I thought it was a bug relating to my using xfce.

Now I know how it works, I would suggest it is discussed here to see if there is a way to make it more obvious, or to find another mechanism.

Dragging the word "paintbrush" which is a heading and in no way looks like an active element is very obscure.

Also if I select "lock tab to dock" when the window is free it prevents the docking action. One may think this is something to do with helping to dock it and in fact it prevents it. It seems it is locked into an undocked state.
