Description:

Hi LibreOffice team! I found a tiny bug that's been making me so sad. When I undock the toolbar, it just... sticks to the top of my screen and won't move at all! No matter how much I drag it, it stays put like a stubborn little thing.

I'm using GNOME (Wayland) on Debian. After searching around, I tried `SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice` which totally works by forcing X11, but I'd really rather stay on Wayland because of those icky security issues.

Could you maybe make the toolbar movable on Wayland too? It would make me super happy! Thanks so much for everything you do!

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Writer (or any component)
2.Drag any docked toolbar to undock it
3.Try to move the floating toolbar somewhere else

Actual Results:
The toolbar stubbornly sticks to the top of the screen and won't budge at all. It's like it found a comfy spot and refuses to leave!

Expected Results:
The toolbar should sweetly follow my cursor and place wherever I drag it.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

I don't know if that helps. But I don't reproduce it : Mageia + Xfce. Seems that it is specific to Wayland, indeed.
