How do you undo floating mode for the logcat window in Android Studio

Tags:

While fiddling with the layout in Android Studio I somehow turned my logcat window into a floating window. I cannot for the life of me restore it to docked mode.

logcat is floating

I would prefer to not have to rebuild the project from scratch, but cannot find anything obvious in .idea/workspace.xml.

Seems the OP is running into this issue on some flavor on Linux. For people with OS X, see this answer.

Option 1

If you select the little cog icon at the top right of the floating window, and deselect floating mode, it should pop back to pinned mode:

Option 2

If you don't see the little cog, you can also make sure that the floating logcat window is selected, and then go to Window-> Active Tool Window-> Floating Mode
