I feel like this is really a dumb question, but I undocked a couple of panels and would like to re-dock them...sure can't see how to do it...probably too simple :oops:

Does it work if you click the second-from-the-right button in the floating window's title bar? It's the one right next to the window's 'close' button and its tooltip should say 'Attach'.

It happens here too. XP64.

There's no second button, JD. Double-clicking the title bar of the window will redock it, but I cannot change its position.

That only happens in Maxwell Render window (mxcl). It works fine in studio and Maxwell Monitor.

Edit: I reported this some months ago, but it fell into obscurity: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... 13&t=33085

Like Fernando said, there is only the close "x" button. Double clicking the header does bring it back. Thx, Joe

did you try just dragging your window over top of the desired window you want to dock in, holding it there for a second then letting it go? That should dock it to the tab of whatever window you want. There's no visual indicator to let you know that it maxwell is understanding you want to dock a window.

Great new feature, but the implementation is broke, IMO. My opinon is that you should just drag it to whatever tab panel you want, see a quick visual indicator, then let go...just like in any web browser.

Well, it works like that in Studio and Monitor; it shows where the window is going to dock by re-arranging the other windows under it, but it's broken in Maxwell Render window.

Which are your system and SO specs? Maybe we can narrow this issue a bit.

This does NOT work for me, only double clicking the window header brings it back. I'm on a PC/Vista x64.
