When repositioning the toolbar by dragging it around with the mouse, the outline jumps around between horizontal and vertical. The toolbar always positions itself in the horizontal position when you release the mouse.
It can be a bit tricky to drop the toolbar back into the fixed position (however, now that I figured out that closing the detached toolbar pops it back into place, I'm using that method!)
Here's a short screen video I shot that shows what I experienced. This is on a Windows XP/SP3 machine.

The toolbar won't dock to the bottom, because the status bar seems to interfere with that somehow. It's definitely not intuitive, but it's the default way for toolbars to behave in the JRE. I'll see if I can customise or change that behaviour though… because I agree, it's not 100% user-friendly. If I can't customise it, I might as well add some information about the toolbar to the docs :) Included page "inc:signature" does not exist (create it now) |

OK, after playing with this some more (watching your video was helpful), I can now get the toolbar to display vertically. If this is default behavior built into the JRE, then it needs some help! If moving the toolbar when it's docked in a horizontal position, it will always be horizontal when you drop it outside the editor window, even if the outline is displaying vertically. The opposite is true if the toolbar is being detached from a vertical docking position. It will always display vertically when you drop it even if the outline is displaying horizontally.
