I docked the Timeline wrong and can't fix it [SOLVED]

hello. I have no idea what I did here. I normally don't use dForce or Timeline so usually the tabs for those are closed. Now I need them, so I opened the Timeline Tool and attempted to drag it to the bottom of the Daz window. But I think I let the mouse button go before I had it where I wanted it, and now I can't undock it. I can't right-click on the tab like I usually would... there's no tab. Docking is unlocked, as you can see in the second image. I can close the Tool from the main menu at the top of the Daz window, but when I open it again it's still in the wrong place. 

Anyone know how to fix this?  :)

    Go to the Windows > Panes and select Timeline. That will cause it to close. As I see that you have tried this method, possibly adding in "Close D/S, count to 10 or 15, Open D/S."
    Then select the Timeline once again, and hopefully it will be floating.
    Then drag it down to the centre front where it may or not dock.
    If it does not dock, leave it at that centre front position and close D/S.
    Count to 10 or 15.
    Then open D/S and hopefully it is now docked along the bottom.

    Alternatively, select another Workspace type, basic or some such.
    Then reselect your preferred workspace layout.
    And hopefully all the panes are where you want them.

    Thank you, Catherine! Not all of those suggestions worked, but at least one of them did. I was clever enough to have saved a preferred Layout ages ago, but not clever enough to find it without a lot of effort  lol.. but I got it.  I'll be curious to see if closing the program with the floater pane at the bottom works too. It just might  :)

    You're quite welcome :-)

    Many versions of D/S ago, I discovered that by keeping the floater pane at the bottom, at next session D/S would open with it docked properly. In those editions {for whatever reason} the timeline was simply refusing to dock in the usual fashions. Now I normally just leave the Timeline and AniMate2 docked whether I'm using them or not.
