You are singlehandedly responsible for my own first "kernel panic" of the day. I tried playing along to see if I could help find a fix. Instead I initially... 100% totally lost a visual on that CRUCIAL toolbar panel. *smacking (my) head!* After that first panic, I recouped and hit "ALT+F1" which brings up access to Settings > Panel. By running down the list of 2 panels, my top one reappeared. It's now located about a third of the way down the screen. And there it very stubbornly sits while refusing to budge. Trial and error has shown me that the "blue bar" is *possibly* a "Separator" (spacer) reference, i.e. NOT the whole panel being moved. Right clicking and hitting "Properties" was my clue there. It keeps snapping back because it (obviously) wants to stay on the panel to which it is assigned. So if you... ok, if WE... can find some toolbar real estate that is NOT that spacer placeholder [thingie], WE might be able to grab and move that entire panel toolbar where WE both wish to see it in each, our own, unique window setups......
