Description

What happened?

When I select one of the Dock location options as per here:

The devtools doesn't dock to the main form. It just changes how the topbar (Console, Sources, Network, etc.) are displayed, moving it around to the side or top of the devtools window.

In Electron, devtools would dock to the window that owned/contained the control with the webpage.

Importance

Moderate. My app's user experience is affected, but still usable.
