Docked "Properties" window in Maya 4.5

I just installed Maya 4.5 on my PC and the first thing that struck me was that when I RMB-clicked on a sphere and slected NURBSSphere1... the object properties docked itself where the channel box used to be, thus hiding the channel-box, and making the screen flicker due to the resizing of the panels.

Is there a way to open the properties editor in its own window (like maya 4) and not replacing the channel box?

ok i dont have maya 4.5 yet, but im pretty sure they wont take something like this away, so if it doesnt work, sorry

the property editor ur referring to is called the attribute editor, and when you hit ctrl A on an object it opens that up as well, mine doesnt open at the side it opens in a new window, i assume thats what you want to do

go to:
window>settings/preferences>preferences
and in the window near the bottom theres a bit called "Open attribute editor" then you have 2 options, 1) to open in main maya window (default, what ur ones like atm) or 2) open in seperate window (which is the one you want) user added image
