If the bottom panel does appear (this is kind of random), one can create another panel after right-clicking on it. Such a panel will appear first on the side of the screen, rather than the top. If one right-clicks on the new panel, and tries to move it to the top, using the Properties selection, it will appear below where the top panel should have been.
