TestStand Sequence Editor Float Pane not available?

Using TestStand 2019 the sequence editor option to float a pane is greyed out. I've checked Configure>>Sequence Editor options>>UI Configuration and the lock is off (unchecked) and nothing else is checked except Display documents in Tabs. 

Any Ideas as to why? According to Help I should also be able to drag off window to float but that doesn't work either. Rearrange and Hide all works.

Which pane are you referring to?

Any of the panes in the sequence editor. If I select the down arrow "Floating" is greyed out while "Hide" and "Auto-Hide' are available.

I have the exact same issue, no idea why this is no longer configurable

Have you tried toggling View>>Lock/Unlock UI Configuration ?

I just tried that and It doesn't make any difference in the ability to float the pane. If I lock it I can't drag the pane though. The lock glyph does change accordingly.

Yes. It has no effect.

May you please confirm if "Insertion Palette" and "Step Settings" panes also have Floating option dimmed?

My insertion palette is currently floated, and has been for as long as I've been using TestStand. I can return it to the main window and float it again without difficulty. Step settings can also be floated, it is only the 'sequences', 'variables', and 'steps' panes that have it disabled.

I never really checked those "Step Settings" and "Insertion Palette" before for floating. I concur with Ian_A...those can be floated and respect the Lock and UI Configuration rules.
