Oh, no. You got me testing it and I now have the same problem. I'll try to
find a solution and see if you beat me to it.

But did you get a three pane window instead of a main window and a floating
one?

Yes. I _closed_ the header view (and group view). Pressing the menu item I
mention put it right back into place.

Tried it again just now... works fine. KNode 0.7.2.

Thanks, Roy. It took some trial to figure out what menu item you were
talking about. Now I know you were talking about those three minute dots on
the top borders of each view pane. By pressing and holding them, one can
move the corressponding pane and redock it into a desired place.

Very neat design, isn't it.

I just tried it. I was able to retrieve the old view by using the menu
option Settings | Show Header View (Ctrl + H).

When I had problems with a floating pane in KNode, I found I could dock the
offending window by it and then choosing Ctrl + H to give me back the
header view. That caused this window to reappear in a docked state.

You've got to be very careful where you drop the windows when you're doing the
re-docking. Look at the "shadow" drop target when you release the window --
to re-dock in the right place, you've got to drop either in the centre of the
target window or towards one of the edges, depending on exactly what you want
to do. Sometimes you have to resize both windows so the one you're dragging
back is significantly smaller than the one you're dropping onto, otherwise it
doesn't dock properly.

Cheers,

Matt
