That is more work than I want to do.

You are right. The problem isn't there when the tag browser is open. I will add a few pixels.

When panel is not docked, the panel has three ways to dismiss it - red X top right, a Close button, and via the Layout button, whereas when its docked there's only one - via the Layout button. This seems 'inconsistent' to me, either keep the Close button when docked or get rid of it altogether.
I see no reason to add the close button to the docked version. I have no problem removing the "X" window close icon, but I suspect that many others won't agree with that. I also have no problem with removing the close button altogether. In both cases my willingness is moderated by the fact that I am generally not in favor of changes that seem entirely gratuitous, especially if they break "muscle memory".

There is also the problem that keyboard users would no longer have ALT+C to close the window.

For the moment I will do nothing.

Now that QV has become a Layout feature could it have a keyboard shortcut toggle that is consistent with the other Layout features - i.e Miscellaneous->Toggle Quick View.
It does have a shortcut. The default Q toggles quickview. The one that is missing is focus back to the book list from quickview. I agree that the label "Show Quickview" should be "Toggle Quickview".

Am I right in observing that version 3.3 lost the default kb shorts for Toggle Tag Browser (Alt+Shift+T), Toggle Book Details (Alt+Shift+D) etc - I can't recall, or imagine, I would have set them to 'None'. No biggie for me 'cos I change them anyway.
Those shortcuts work for me, and are indicated in Preferences as the default.

Would be nice if the Job Details panel could be docked.

That would be up to Kovid.
