pgadmin 4 3.1 retiling data output panel

In the Query Tool, when trying to raise or lower the border between Query Sql Editor and Data Output Panel it is very common that when you move the mouse over the Data Output panel's header it changes the vertical - horizontal arrow icon to a cross arrow changing Data Output panel from its default tiling to floating

What should I do to return the Data Output panel to its initial tiling mode?

In addition, Data Output panel once in floating window stops showing queries's results, it only shows the messages, I suppose it's 3.1's bug.

My solution so far is to save the query, close it and reopen it to recover its tiling mode

Cursor's disappearance problems have not been corrected in full

What is the best free competitor of pgadmin 4?

Running pgAdmin4 on Apple M1 Pro, Ventura > 13 click the half-circle with an arrow at the 12 o'clock position in the top right corner of the app. Hovering over the button reveals "Reset layout".

I was able to redock it in pgadmin 4, version 6.0 by dragging the floating window down to the bottom right of the screen. I drug it around down there until it started highlighting docking arrangements for it and it eventually shows a highlight for the original docking position and then you can let go and it'll dock. Not super exact instructions, but once you do it a couple times it's easy to recreate.

I'm still on 4.2.6, and as long as only one of the tabs has floated, I can click on the text "Data Output", and drag it onto the tab bar of the bottom panel. Note that you need to click the text, and not just anywhere in the panel's top bar, it acts as a kind of invisible tab.

If the other tabs (Explain, etc) have also floated I think you need a 'Scratch Pad' or Reset.

Then File, Lock Layout, Prevent Docking if this is never useful for you.

File dropdown >> Reset Layout (reload issue) this will reload but the changes/query will be lost. Better to store the query somewhere else before resetting layout

No this is not a bug, those panels are meant to be floatable so that user can arrange the view as per their convince.

But yes user should have the option to lock the layout, and I see feature request for locking the layout is already in the pgadmin4 list. Hopefully, we will get it in the next future release. Ref: https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/3155

------ UPDATE -----

Now you can lock the layout in pgAdmin4 (File menu -> Lock layout) option
To reset the panels to default position (File manu -> Reset Layout) option

------ UPDATE-2021 -----

This issue has been fixed, can you please check with pgAdmin4 v5.5 which is released on 15-july-2021.

I have pgadmin 4.15 and I found how to resolve this. On the upper left corner, click on File dropdown and then click on Reset Layout. It will ask to restart the application, click Ok.

In the pgadmin browser, click on the File menu and select reset layout.

Yes, will get all kinds of warnings, but the query tool returns to being useful.

I don't know in PgAdmin 4.3, but in 4.6 I found that way to re-arrange it.

First, right-click on somewhere to Add Panel -> Scratch Pad first to get a panel holder first (when clicking, notice the highlighted light blue space),

then right-click the lower half space to add another panel -> Scratch Pad at the lower half space (when clicking, notice the highlighted light blue space),.

After that, click on the tab and hold to drag and drop to where you want (when clicking, notice the highlighted light blue space).
