From b5e39048df2cbdd41e85611f52b6c67a9b70084d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bflatastic Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 09:23:30 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix #649: a panel dropped on the dock lights up where it goes Panels other than Properties, Layers and Libraries live in the dock's icon column, not as tabs. Dragging one onto the dock lit up the whole dock, tabs included, and the drop put it back as an icon, so it seemed to vanish. The drop zone now lights up the icon column for such panels (the whole dock still for the tabbed ones), and the dropped panel pops out of its icon.
