Bibisected with Linux 7.0 repo to https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/a164b140221d76cb3b0933d24846de4e1c8780ea use welded color window in unwelded toolbars Adding Cc: to Caolán McNamara It is true that in 5.3 the palette disappeared after having been torn off, but this was later fixed.
Its still possible to support this for the dropdowns from the vcl toolbars so I'll restore that possibility. But its probably worth noting that tearable menus have gone out of fashion in some toolkits (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkTearoffMenuItem.html) and aren't supported under our gtk version when on wayland so they might not be around for ever.

Verified to work with all the backends, thanks. Annoying to hear about the deprecation. Kind of forces to rethink the whole thing.
