Unable to dock the Options Bar by hovering just below the top File bar of the screen

[SteveEE]

I've had this happen before, where the Options Bar became undocked. The solution was to just hover it in place, just below the File/Edit/etc... top bar. Then the blue docking line would show up. I opened up PS a few days ago and noticed that the options bar was undocked. I grabbed the handle on the left side and slowly moved it around, waiting for the blue line to dock it, and I don't get it. I tried tabbed mode, floating mode, etc... for the open images to see if that helps. I still can't find the spot tha will allow me to dock the Options Bar. I've restarted, turned it off and on, and nothing is allowing me to dock. I don't think this is a bug, but me just doing something wrong.

@SteveEE an easy answer is to just reset the workspace under the Window menu.

Perfect! I have a custom space and just kept selecting others and trying to go back to mine. That did the trick.
