My eclipse's(ADT bundle Mac OSX) console view and logcat view are located at the right side of the screen. When activated, they will cover my code editor. (When I maximize them they will automatically move to the bottom, but when minimized they fly back to the right side again.)
status 1:normal ,them cover the editor,
status 2: when I max them, look like good, but
status 3:when minimize them, backto status 1
I know this is an old thread but it comes up in the top google results so I thought I'd reply with a solution. I was having the same issue as the OP, even when docking on the bottom of the editor Console was still minimizing to the left side.
I fixed this inadvertently while fixing another annoyance (non re-sizable toolbar sections).
Go to Window->Preferences->General->Appearences
Change theme to Windows 7
Restart Eclipse
Dock to bottom of screen and minimize.
This worked for me, hope it helps someone else out there.
You can click the title of the tab and drag it to a new location (in this case the bottom of the page)
