Description
Hi,

A couple of minor UI glitches with the Settings panel:

* The Settings panel behaves as a dockable tool - I don't think it should be, at least not by default, and unlike the other tools there doesn't seem to be a way to disable this behavior (no context menu appears when one right clicks the docked panel).

* In the Startup tab, the text entry box is really narrow, and does not resize when the window is resized. Also, the scroll bar is very glitchy on Mac - when I attempt to scroll using the trackpad, the scroll bar in the text entry box jumps to the left and covers half the text.

Cheers
Oli

I agree in principal that the preferences panel should be undockable, but for practical reasons it needs to remain dockable so that Elaine can refer to it when writing documentation without it disappearing when switching to the editor program. When the "floating windows disappear" problem get fixed (ticket #453), I will switch the preferences panel to undockable.

As for the input-field widths, I'll see if I can improve that sometime soonish.

As of tomorrow, the settings field widths should match the dialog size.

Preferences panel now undockable.
