If the workaround from comment #4 works, then the issue should be fixed with changeset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c95884eed1cf for the upcoming 5.1 release.

Closing the report. In case of any new occurrences it can be re-opened.

Weird. I tried zipping and bzip2ing the GIF, but it still won't attach in those forms either.

Removing the DocumentationDockWidget_floating_geometry line from ~/.config/octave/qt-settings worked.

Huh. Savannah seems to be losing my file attachment when I attach "octave-win10-disappearing-doc-browser-window.gif".

Andrew, thanks for the report.

Could you please try to remove the line


DocumentationDockWidget_floating_geometry


from your settings file? If this fixes the issue then it should also be fixed in the upcoming release 5.

Btw: There is no gif attached

On Windows 10, if I undock the Documentation browser, it just disappears instead of becoming a separate window. I can't see it anywhere, and the only way to get it back is to Restore Default Window Layout.

See attached GIF.
