Dockable dialogs not docking - firestone1 - 11-05-2019

I'm trying to move a dialog box onto the area that says, you can drop dockable dialogs here, but it just moves the box over that text.

I'm dragging the index tabs and not the box itself, but when I drag the tab over an area that it should be able to dock to the white border never shows up.

If anyone has an idea of whats going on I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks.

Please give operating system - Windows 7 / 8 /10 - OSX - linux (+ distro) also 32 or 64 bit and version of Gimp

It should be as you described, click - drag - release into the area under the toolsbox. If something is stuck then I suggest reverting to the default arrangement.

Edit -> Preferences -> Window Management then click on Reset Saved Window Positions to Default Values

A bit of a pain sorting back to the way you want, but such is life.

It is usually simple-ish This a video about moving the docks about https://youtu.be/01PeLL1F8Kg only about 3 minutes

Resetting the saved window positions fixed it.

Strange that it wasn't working the first time since it was a new install of the most recent version. But glad its working now.

Thank you!
