I’ve always kept my main layers/properties panels one above the other, with a host of tabs on each one.
With version - (6.0.14294.17091, 10/21/2014), I’m unable to stack these two sets of panels vertically. They’ll only dock side by side.
I’m sure it’s unintended as there’s a tremendous waste of screen real estate.
Thanks,

Hi Ernest - so far this works here - do you see the blue preview rectangle pop into place even, or nothing at all?

Hi Pascal,
Hmmm. Maybe I’m the only one? I do get the blue previews as expected.
I wonder if this has something to do with the mix of my 2880 x 1660px with a 1920 z 1080px external monitor? V5 is working normally. I’ve gone through all the scaling options with them and had no change.
BTW - everything was as expected until somewhere within the last week.
Maybe I’ll just wait for the next WIP and see how things go.
Thanks,
Ernest
I have seen a couple of reports of similar docking issues, I will be looking into this shortly.
Update: the issue persists here in (6.0.14316.5541, 11/12/2014)
Thanks,

I’ve just installed the latest version on a brand new laptop and am totally unable to get these to sit as I want them.
That is; Properties on top and Layers below on the right-hand-side of the screen. My F3 will toggle Properties and F4 Layers but I cannot get them stacked and when toggling they appear as tabs in the same space. 
Hi @JohnM, Have you had a chance to look into this? They are still acting up around here 
FWIW, I’m still unable to get the Properties panel to stay in place above the Layers panel between sessions.
I have two keyboard shortcuts:
F3 is tied to '-_Properties _Visible _Toggle _Enter
F4 is tied to '-_Layer _Visible _Toggle _Enter
I’ll drag and put the panels as I want them and turn these on and off as required during a session.
If I close Rhino with the panels off and start Rhino again, turning the panels on again will put them side by side.
I just logged http://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-35026 for this.
For the record - this one was never actually fixed, only closed without announcement. The issue was first reported in this thread on November 10th, 2014 and is a regression from RH5.
From this thread, it appears that this issue is now replaced with RH-42292, which was set to be fixed in RH 6.1. I strongly disagree. To put it mildly, I find getting my modeling viewport reduced by 22% rather annoying when trying to get work done. Just saying…
And DO note that RH-42292 is about a Osnap “Panel” - NOT about properties and layers.
