Problem description: Floating tool windows obscure document, cannot be docked.

Steps to reproduce: Open sidebar, style window, and navigator

Current behavior: Sidebar is dockable. Style and navigator windows are not. 

I like to work with the navigator, style window, and formatting sidebar all visible at once. These are key tools. The navigator cannot be reshaped below a certain width. It can be place on top of the sidebar. Or it can float below a floating style window. However, at minimum width, these obscure the document being worked on.

Expected behavior:
I'd like to see formatting information, styles, and navigator all at once, and ideally as sidebar(s). Word 2013, for example, handles the styles and navigator as sidebars. Ideally, the three items could be stacked in a single sidebar pane, or I could have one sidebar on each side, each with one or two of the tools. Adding a single style control to the formatting sidebar would resolve one of these.

Best case - all tool windows are dockable, resizable, and stackable (meaning they could be part of a single docked vertical column, with the height of each element configureable).

Hi there. 

Those are dockable. Drag them to the side, or click Ctrl+Shift+F10 when one has the focus.

Dragging (which is what I tried before posting) still doesn't do anything for me. Tried both sides, bottom. But Ctrl+Shift+F10 worked fine. Thanks!

It only works when you mouve the mouse pointer over the side of the full window.

Ctrl+double click in an emply space in the toolbar on top, also does the trick ;)
