    My program is running on linux / QT 4.8.7

    If I try to move a QDockWidget partially out of the screen by dragging from the title bar, it won't move past the border of the screen, it stops moving there.

    However, if I alt click and drag I can move it partially out (looks like probably the window manager is circumventing qt).

    Is this a bug? can I patch the source of qdockwidget to allow it to move partially out of the screen?

    Thanks

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      That's likely coming from your window manager.

      Which is it ?
      Do you have the same behaviour with Qt 5 ?
