It is not possible to dock the navigator and the stylist (format and styles window) over above the other on the left (or right) side of the screen. The other window docks automatically side by side to the other. Tested LibreOffice versions: * LibreOffice 3.4.3 final * LibreOffice 3.4.4 final * LO-dev 3.5.0 Beta 1 (Build: 7362ca8-b5a8e65-af86909-d471f98-61464c4) Tested systems: * Windows 7 Home Premium, 32 bits -- Thread on german user list: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Andockfenster-positionieren-sich-selbstandig-neu-td3605101.html
Works for me with LibO 3.4.4 release LibreOffice 3.4.4 · OOO340m1 (Build:402) [WinXP 32b · UI en-US] See also attached screenshot 'F11+F5.png'

It works randomly. The user at the mailing list changed his profile and now ist works. But for example on my system it works not. I think it very depend on the system. Maybe it is NOTABUG, but it should be improved.
Additionally tested (on WinXP 32b · UI: en-US (de-DE for LibO 3.3.4): LibO 3.3.4 release LibreOffice 3.3.4 · OOO330m19 (Build:401) · tag libreoffice-3.3.4.1 LibO 3.4.5 RC1 LibreOffice 3.4.5 · OOO340m1 (Build:501) LibO 3.5.0 Beta2 LOdev 3.5.0beta2 · Build ID: 8589e48-760cc4d-f39cf3d-1b2857e-60db978 All work fine for me. @Andreas G.: Yes, that could be improved, starting with two undocked windows (<F11>, <F5>) will be most troublesome. ;) Usually, I've docked <F11> on the left, and <F5> on the right. Then it should be easy to drag <F5> to the lower left part. Maybe that will work (for you): 1. Dock <F11> to the left; restart LibO 2. Dock <F5> to the right; restart LibO 3. Drag the right one to the lower left (or vice versa).
OK this is a good idea. What's the new status? NOTABUG, RESOLVED, whatever?
As far as I can see: The initial status should (always) be UNCONFIRMED. Now it's still NEW (but not really). ;) For me: RESOLVED NOTABUG (or INVALID). Have you successfully docked <F11> and <F5> in your desired way? Then I would also propose: RESOLVED NOTABUG (or INVALID). I've seen some troubles, when starting with two undocked windows (default user profile). So you might modify the bug to a request for enhancement, with a precise description of the problems, and how it should work [Modifying 'Importance': 'normal' to 'enhancement']. Maybe a developer will be motivated to improve the behaviour...
Yes, it works when both windows are dockend before. I changed the status to RESOLVED NOTABUG. I changed the importance to MEDIUM ENCHANGEMENT.
Sorry. The alternative(!) possibilities are: 1. RESOLVED NOTABUG (the next step would be: CLOSED NOTABUG) or 2. NEW ... enhancement (then a more precise description would be desired) ;) I've modified the bug in this sense (CLOSED and removed 'enhancement'). Feel free to reopen the bug as a request for enhancement, with a detailled description of the occurred problems and the desired improvements. You might have a look at: STATUS / RESOLUTION https://bugs.freedesktop.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#status BugReport Details http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport_Details
@manj_k Is ist OK, when you reopen this report? Because I can't write so detaillied in english (it is not my native language). ;-)
