In every application except InDesign, when I press F3, the current window shrinks down and I see every other open window, organised by application, with each application's icon floating on top. It's not just the inconsistency and nuisance of it sitting on top of the documents and not moving with the rest of the window that causes a problem: I'm on a Mac (Lion) and the floating toolbar breaks a normal useful operating system function. I can make it snap to position in a corner, but it doesn't dock and doesn't stop floating. I've tried on a variety of Window > Arrange settings, and with Window > Application Frame both ticked and unticked, and nothing works.

I can't see any option to stop it floating. I've also looked in Preferences > Interface and the only options refer to the 'Floating tools bar' and give the same one row vertical, two rows vertical, and one row horizontal options as the tool bar itself. The only options in the toolbar itself switch between one row vertical, two rows vertical, and one row horizontal. Unlike every other window, it never gives the option to dock, no matter where I drag it. I can't find any way to do this in InDesign CS6 (Version 8.0, Mac), however. In all my CS applications except InDesign CS6 (Mac), I can dock the tools window by the side of the main content panes like any other window: drag it to the edge, and at just the right point, it highlights where it will be docked with a blue outline, and docks when you let go.
