If the docking area is collapsed when you click the down arrow, it should show the list of docked items rather than docking options, so that is proper behavior. If the docking area is expanded, then clicking the down arrow should show the docking options for the visible item in the docking area. I tried to reproduce, but I don't see the problem at all. I tested on Windows 7 with Oracle java 1.8.0_102, so my java version is a little ahead of yours. I don't have any plugins installed on this machine, so I docked the File Browser on the left and Activity Log on the right.
