How do you drag Categories to a different layout location?

Post by bezhukov »

Hello,

I think I'm overlooking something basic- I'd like to drag the Categories panel to a different location but it seems to not have the top UI elements that makes dragging possible, compared to the Preview panel for example. I have the same problem with the Category Sets panel. Other panels can be dragged around just fine (I may not have tried to drag all of them).

This is Version 0.99.7 64bits (Jan 13 2022) on Linux (Mint/Xfce).

Thank you!

Interesting- I don't have this problem on Mac.

Here's a screenshot of the issue on Linux. Maybe this is a bug?

Preview to the right has an area towards the top you can drag from. Category Sets to the left has UI controls in the same area and no space to drag from. Categories look the same.

Am I missing something?

Thank you, that does work and I was not aware of that option.

However, maybe the problem is related to View>Layouts>Free? I had used that menu entry and now notice that when I do, some panels show up with titles and some don't (the ones I mentioned above). The state is inconsistent with the selection in View>Panels>Show title
