I installed the daily build and this fixes the problem. You might want 
to add a Docking option that provides the Floating behavior which was 
incorporated in 5.2 and which your daily build brings back for 5.3.1 or 
the Floating behavior which was incorporated in 5.3 and of which I 
complained. That way both sides can choose what they like.

Thanks for your prompt response to this matter !
