Problem with re-positioning panels.

Hello.

I have upgraded from Elements 13 to 15. I am using iMac OS Sierra 10.12.1. In Elements 13 I was able to move a panel until a blue line appeared showing new location for the panel. In version 15, whatever I do , no blue line appears allowing me to re-position the panel. For example, I want to locate the Color Swatches panel next to the Layers panel, which I could easily do in Elements 13. In 15,the panel just remains floating rather than  properly sitting in a new location. It sits over my working space hiding part of it. If it was properly located by using the blue line method it would sit next to my workspace  rather than floating on top of it. The Elements User Manuals say's ' To dock panels together (stacked panels), drag a tab of the panel or the title bar to the bottom of another panel. A double line appears at the bottom of the target panel when the pointer is over the correct area". This does not seem to be happening in Elements 15.

Does anyone have any advice about this?

    On second thought here's a refresher on how to enable docking of the panels.

    In the pse 15 editor in the Expert mode, click on More, click on Custom Workspace and then you should be able to dock the panels.

    Thanks R_Kelly for your response. Your advice has solved my problem. I can now easily re-position the panels in Elements 15. - Very grateful.

    Cheers.

    You have/had pse 13 on Sierra and were able to dock the panels, but it doesn't work for you with pse 15 on Sierra?

    Can I ask the question before I upgrade to OS Sierra will Elements 13 work on this?

    Most likely pse 13 will work om Sierra.
