Follow-up Comment #30, bug #53276 (project octave):

This bug is concentrating on the behavior of "octave_dock_widget", which is
any of the main features that fit within the main GUI window.  These main
features are the ones for which the frame and title bar look like any
Window-Manager window.  A Window-Manager window refers to the operating
systems Window-Manager and is outside of Qt's control.

The behavior of the new Variable Editor subpanels can be addressed elsewhere,
but that is a different variety.  The Variable-Editor dock widgets are not
derived from octave_dock_widget and they intentionally do not have a
Window-Manager window.  In my opinion, if all the variable editor subpanels
also have Window-Manager windows and taskbar entries, it will get to be a
confusing mess.  And if we go that route--that every variable in the Variable
Editor window should be floated as a top-level Window-Manager window--then it
would make sense that each of those have its own menu bar rather than the
single menu bar in Variable Editor.  Anyway, that's getting ahead of things
and would require a rethink.

Back to the patch, afterward are you seeing a Window-Manager window and can
you now drag that window with a mouse click?  Could you do a screen capture,
or alt-print-screen capture, of floated Workspace window and post here?
