Would you please tell me what type of docking you are using?
Ordinary drag-dock (using my EasyDock... ;-)
I am using anchor docking without any problems with docking and undocking windows (on Linux as well as on Win32).
Does this mean that anchor docking now allows for drag-dock?
I have also tried easy docking on Win32 at first, but while docking and undocking itself worked it had some other troubles (I don't say that anchor docking has no problems, but they are less troublesome ^^).
The EasyDockTree was the first really working implementation of an dockmanager in Lazarus. It took years to convince the developers of providing the required support in the LCL, and perhaps some more years to fix the remaining problems. [Today I noticed that the docksites are not initialized properly, a manual resize of the parent is required for that]. Breaking drag-dock instead seems to be a matter of only a few weeks. OTOH this demonstrates that docking is almost unused, probably due to the problems arising all the time.
Currently I'm thinking again of an installable DragManager, so that the LCL must not be recompiled for every minor change (like adding debug messages). But this project requires access to the protected methods in TControl and TWinControl, and persistent storage of the registered docksites (not destroyed when another dragmanager is installed). In my own Lazarus version I can change that without problems, but it requires that every interested user has to patch the "official" LCL for that.
