Hi all,
To enable docking by mouse via dragging, it is required that your windows show their contents while moving and not only a wireframe. Otherwise OOo does not receive any events from the system until you release the mouse which is too late.
On XP go to ControlPanel->Display->Appearance->Effects... and make sure that 'Show window contents while dragging' is enabled. On some systems this might also be called 'full drag' or something like this.
This only affects navigator and stylist, the toolbars are already in full drag mode all the time. The remaining windows will be changed like this for the next major version.

I've freshly downloaded the new beta from betanews.com and am having difficulties to dock the Navigator and Stylist using any of the CTL, ALT or Shift keys and moving the mouse into any of the sides or corners.
CTRL prevents docking of floating windows or toolbars

System = Windows XP SP2
I am on Windows 98 SE :) Cheers, khirano
Thanks for the headsup khirano and I did a quick bit of reading on that issue. I have also attempted the CTRL + DoubleClick on the stylist and there is some action. However that action docks the window to the left and guess where I wanted to dock my window....the right.
But for the life of me; in WindowsXP, I cannot drag a window using the mouse to automatically dock on either side.
