Bug#1031208: freecad: changing the positions of the toolbars very difficult

[Tobias Frost]

Control: tags -1 unreproducible

Hi Eric,

TIL that you can have vertical toolbars with FreeCAD ;-)

Unfortunatly I cannot reproduce your described behaviour… $here, drag-and-drop the toolbars works nice,
I can dock and undock them, put them on every side of the main window, vertical and horizontal…
(I've tried in the PartDesign workbench) works very well…

Some ideas (sorry for the repetitions…)

have you additional infomrations about your setup?
Wayland? Xorg?
Does FreeCAD "say" something in the console?

Have you made sure to apt full-upgrade, so that you have everything updated from sid?
Any held back packages? Any third party repositories?
Any plugins installed=

Can you try with a new user (to ensure that there is no problem with your pofike ~/.config/FreeCAD/)
