Thank you for reaching out. Would you mind telling us the version of InDesign installed on your machine and the details of your operating system? Could you please try docking the floating panel to the right side panel and see if that works? Please also tell us about your workspace. Is it set to Essential?
indesign cc, windows computer i never had this it's not docking, it's not a panel, it's when i want to go into options; for example: options for my columns, can't see most of it
