Oops sorry, I thought there was an archive to download on the website. I
have attached the files I have been using for testing. Just
qmake example.pro
make

How to proceed if the example shows the same issue? Of course it is no
solution to switch the theme for octave. Maybe we really have to
implement different (un-)docking methods for *ix and windows

The example doesn't show the issue for me.
