Description

Describe the bug
The position of the properties and palettes panels gets reset every time they are toggled (both via mouse and via f8/f9)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Move one of the panels somewhere else, either freely or docked
  2. Deactivate the panel
  3. Activate it again
  4. See error, it jumps to the other docked panel(s)

Exception: No other panel is docked

Expected behavior
I would expect them to appear exactly where they were, as in MS3

Platform information

  • OS: Linux, GNOME 42, tested both (X-?)Wayland and X11

Additional context
As I am on a Laptop, I toggle the panels quite frequently to get more out of my screen real estate, so this is really bothering me.
