The handwriting panel has 2 modes - floats near the text box, or, attached to the bottom of the screen. Default is floating near text box. If you want the panel to be fixed, use this policy to fix it to the bottom.
In floating mode, the content is hidden behind a flying-in panel and results in end-user dissatisfaction. The end-user will need to drag the flying-in panel, to see the rest of the content. In the fixed mode, the flying-in panel is fixed to the bottom of the screen and doesn't require any user interaction.
The docked mode is especially useful in Kiosk mode, where you don't expect the end-user to drag the flying-in panel out of the way.
