Nonfloatable hidden window disappears on drop in empty area

[boggi78]

Hello,

thanks for your development, we really like to use it and test all of the possibilities. Unfortunately we experienced a little issue when using the autohide functionality.

Version
Qt 5.13.2
VisualStudio 2017 64 bit
Advanced Docking System 4.0.2

Steps to reproduce

1. Using demo app "AdvancedDockingSystemDemo"
2. Clicking "Pin Active Tab" on the "Filesystem 0 (c+ m+ f-)" (-> Window hides itself to buttom)
3. Clicking the hidden tab brings it to front
4. Click the title bar and move it somewhere into the application -> don't drop it into a valid docking container, but into an "empty area"

Expected result
Tab is NOT getting a floatable window (due to configuration) and pops back into the previous position (hidden tab).

Actual result
Window disappears.

Can you please help us out?

Best regards,
Micha

Fixed this in master - please test. Do you have a link to the application in which you use ADS? I would like to add it to my showcase section. Maybe you have a screenshot or a link?

Thank you for your fast response and bugfix.
The problem still persists.
i read your code and the added comment and i think my description was not exactly enough.
Following your comment i would add an additional case:
" Non floatable auto hide widgets should stay in its current auto hide
state if they are dragged into a invalid drop area"
The main part here is the "invalid drop area"

Do you know what i mean?
I will ask somebody in our company for a permission to make some screenshots for your showcase, because it is an internal tool.

If I test here, I cannot see the issue from the video anymore. If I pin the "Filesystem 0 (c+ m+ f-)" window and try to drag it into a floating window, it stays in the auto hide state.

" Non floatable auto hide widgets should stay in its current auto hide
state if they are dragged into a invalid drop area"

I think this is exactly what I have implemented,

So I do not really understand the problem now. Please post a new video to show the problem.
