Difficult to dock panels and toolbars

[Gijs (Gijs de Zwart)]

Continuing the discussion from Rhino 8 UI panel-related woes:

@anon

I am having a lot of trouble keeping my sanity trying to get these ****ing panels to dock like I feel they should. Accidentally drag and hold anything and I run the risk of ruining my workspace. Just stuff jumping and hopping everywhere when you dislodge a thing, but then to restore it you have to carefully navigate to the purple MIDDLE of the docking position, release, then hope you got it right after release. Can’t trust that you did it right when releasing the mouse. Ruining sounds dramatic, but it is honestly hard to undo an inadvertent dislodging. Maybe you all have better computers or brains than I do. Some of the UI moves require a lot of precision, but some require you to totally approximate what you want to see by doing the purple transitional docking and hope it shows up right after release.
