Description:
There are many dialog boxes ("DB") which "get in the way" of the underlying document and cannot be moved independently of the underlying document. For example, most of the dialog boxes in the Format category (Format/Character, Format/Paragraph, etc.) cannot be dragged and moved without reducing the size of the underlying document and dragging it along with the dialog box. This is a major annoyance, because there are times when you need or want to see the underlying document at the same time that you are working in the dialog box. Maybe you cannot go back and fix existing dialog boxes, but it would be great if you could take this into consideration moving forward for any new or changed dialog boxes.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open and work on Writer Document.
2. In the menu bar, click on Format, Character (for example)
3. Try to move dialog box on your screen so you can see underlying document and section you want to change.

Actual Results:
Attempting to drag the dialog box out of the way of the underlying Writer document results in minimizing the underlying document and dragging it along with the dialog box. In short, the dialog box "gets in the way" and cannot be move independently of its underlying document.

Expected Results:
Expect to be able to move ALL dialog boxes independently of the underlying document. For example, when you do Find and Replace you can drag that dialog box out of the way of the underlying document. LO is very inconsistent in the way dialog boxes are either "fixed" or "movable."
