Hmm.  Works in 2021.01, not in the development snapshot.  (Mine is a few

In 2021.01, with up to four values they're shown in individual boxes;
with five or more they're shown as a single box with a bracketed list.
In a current build, with five or more the parameter just disappears.

That's a good question.  Even with 2021.01, if you want to start with
one, two, three, or four entries there's no way for the user to add more
(or remove them).  There should probably be markup to control the behavior.

It appears that, like the other panes, if you check "Enable docking of
Editor and Console in different places" in Edit/Preferences/Advanced,
you can move the customizer pane around.  If you further check "Enable
undocking of Editor and Console to separate windows", you can undock it
and move and resize it freely.

It would be nice if there was markup that you could put on a file that
said "this is intended for customization", so that the customizer could
appear and disappear automatically.  I'd rather not spend the screen
space when I really don't intend the model to be customized, without
having to manually turn the customizer on and off.

One might wonder this form includes the brackets.

Customizer support for vectors with more than four elements was
deliberately removed in May 2021 as part of a customizer overhaul.

Anyone know if Thingiverse's customizer is still on the 2015 release of
OpenSCAD?  Just keep in mind there may be many language features taken for
granted for years, that are not supported on thingiverse.

Yes, it is. It still shows 2015.03 as version().

I had a short Twitter conversation with one of the Ultimaker
people who are running the site now and there's interest in
getting things moving again. We'll have to see how long it
takes for Customizer to hit a higher position on the priority
list, but they did seem to get it actually working again.

Well, Openscad was successfully used in the Halloween competition, guess
which one?

How  can I fix or allow decimal points. I have some fields that if set
to 0 shows 0.0000000 on leaving, others t I can't enter a decimal point.
some I managed to get to allow two digits after the dp, by setting the
default to 2dp's. as below

/[ Pocket details]/
// pocket lengths
pocket_lengths = [10.01,12.01,20.01,15.01];
// height to bottom of scallop in length partitions (-ve value for no
scallop)
pocket_length_scallop_height = 5.01;

// pocket widths
pocket_widths = [12.01,10.01,0.01,0.01];
// height to bottom of scallop in width partitions (-ve value for no
scallop)
pocket_width_scallop_height = 8.01;

but In the customizer I get

I've flushed cache, restarted openscad, but still these odd results. Any
ideas?

wrt moving the panels, they seem to snap to a location and resize
whenever I move near another panel.

I don't have any suggestions.

If you set the "Enable undocking" option, you can move the pane around
freely; it only snaps when you put it near the edge of the window.  (And
once it snaps, you can only resize in one axis.)

For instance:
