[Bug] "Data Information" panel docks in incorrect position (left side instead of right panel area)

[Shadow775711]

Operating System

Linux

What's the issue you encountered?

The "Data Information" panel sometimes docks in an incorrect position in the interface layout.

Instead of appearing on the right side of the interface together with the other analysis panels, the panel appears on the left side of the workspace.

This creates a non-logical layout because the left side should normally contain the main hex editor view, while the "Data Information" panel belongs to the analysis panel area on the right.

Two screenshots are attached:

• one showing the incorrect panel placement
• one showing the expected layout.

How can the issue be reproduced?

1. Start ImHex
2. Open any file
3. Open the "Data Information" panel

The panel appears on the left side instead of the right panel area.
