We have a UI that contains multiple docksites, with each containing toolwindow objects. If I have 3 docksites with each having a toolwindow, then I drag the middle docksite to the bottom, then move the bottom docksite's toolwindow to the middle docksite the following error is displayed...

*** EXCEPTION ***

Hi Mark,

Can you email us a new simple sample project that shows this happening so we can debug it and see if it's still an issue?  It sounds like something we may have already fixed, possibly for the next maintenance release.  Please send the project to our support address and mention this thread in your email.  Be sure to rename the .zip file extension so it doesn't get spam blocked.  Thanks!

After further investigate it seems this problem is only occuring in version 16.1.633, not 16.1.632

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the update.  Please still send us the sample project so we can debug with that and make sure any changes that we make properly fix the issue.  We appreciate it!
