Created attachment 173544 [details] Screenshot of the floating UNO-Inspector window The UNO object inspector tool, activated from menu Tools > Development Tools, starts as a panel at the bottom of the main window, like the sidebar. Like the sidebar (and many toolbars), this inspector panel can be dragged by mouse and undocked from the main window, becoming a floating window. However, unlike the sidebar, the behavior of the inspector window after undocked is rather strange and causes UX problems. 1. Too easy to undock. The inspector panel doesn't have a obvious "title bar" like the sidebar which is used for dragging and undocking. Instead, it seems the whole area from "Current Selection" to "Class Name: foo" can be used to drag the panel off its place. I first found this undocking behavior by accidentally triggering it when trying to highlight the class name with mouse (for copying) . 2. The undocked floating inspector window has a sub-optimal size, and many elements are not displayed by default. The user has to enlarge the window to see everything that was shown at the docked panel status. See attached screenshot. 3. Hard to re-dock. The undocked sidebar can be relatively easily re-docked by dragging the floating window towards the right edge of the window. However, once the inspector window is undocked, the user has to drag it very precisely to the center of the bottom edge just above the status bar -- a tiny area -- in order to re-dock it as a panel. I'm not sure this undocking of UNO inspector is intentional, but currently as is, it doesn't seem to be useful. Please either disable this undocking or improve its behavior when undocked.
