File Window always-on-top (above editor) when Floating
I'm a brand-new IDEA user....Or at least, I'm trying to be. I've been using NetBeans for the last 5+ years or so, and I've always used NB in "SDI Mode" -- where the Editor window is separate from the File/Project window, is separate from the Menu Bar, etc.
So in IDEA 7.0.3 (for Linux), I've created a project from some code that I had lying about. I have a Project pane with a list of files in it, and there's the editor pane to the right of it. If I click on the "Float" icon on the Project pane's toolbar, it will tear off into its own window. That's cool, and that's how I like to work. However, my now-larger code area cannot go on-top of the floating Project window, even if the Project window is not the active window.
Sure, I could minimize the Project window, but that's not what I'm used to. Is there a setting that I'm missing to allow the Editor window to go on-top of a torn-away Project window? Or is this not possible?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
is it the "pin / unpin" option that you're looking for? Just click the pin icon, I think that should solve your problem ;)

No, pinning the window makes it disappear into the sidebar. I don't want that; I want a separate window that can remain open, but go behind the editor window.

Oh wow, a complaint from 2008...
Any update on this? I don't understand why the Find Window is stickied on top. On a smaller laptop screen, it's basically impossible to see the find window and your code at the same time. Sure, you can make the find window *disappear* but that's not what we want.
Where do you want the find window to be placed? You can open it as tool window if there is no enough place on the monitor.
