Which version of Qt Designer are you using? Did you manually place the dock widget into a layout? In older versions of Qt Designer, dropping a dock widget onto a main window form simply left it floating, unmanaged, unless the central area was managed by a layout. In newer versions, the dock window is automatically docked by default - at least, it seems that way. If you have a dock window embedded in a main window, and you can't move it when you preview the form, try breaking the layout of the window, selecting the dock widget, and setting its docked property to true. It should appear in one of the dock areas around the sides of the window and be handled separately to the widgets in the main window itself.
