Grab it at the top and move the mouse to the very left of the window. A dock should appear where you can drop it.

Solved!
I just needed to install i3 and goes from there to dock it back. I think this is wayland problem but i really would appreciate it if FreeCAD made own button for docking windows like some apps.
