Making the button draggable to a desired position is not something that’s easily done and beyond the scope of a bugfix.

I’ve merged a [PR](https://github.com/discourse/material-design-stock-theme/pull/32) that addresses the issue by adjusting the z-index and added a few tweaks to make the positioning a tiny bit smarter. That should fix the problem.

Thanks for the report!
