Pin floating panels always on top

[Todd S.]

It would be nice to be able to pin floating panels to always on top. That way when I move a floating panel to another monitor and click on something else on that monitor the panel won't disappear on me.

Yes, this would be more than nice, this is neccessairy, if using two monitors and working with the workspace freefloating. It is more like a bug I think, that the panels are not alwyas on top. If I have a free floating workspace with several Project tabs and I change the project tab, the floating panels always dissapear. This is more than annoying. Also I can't dock the pane tabs to a free floating workspace, which makes no sense. 

Why working with free floating work-spaces, one might ask. I work on a 17inch 4k laptop which is wide, but small from top to bottom. So I have the main window in a full hd monitor above to have a larger workspace for the project. This requires floating workspaces.

Also a bug: if I arrange the free floating workspace to fill the bottom monitor by clicking on the maximize symbol (windows) and change to another project tab, the window is allways smaller than I adjusted it. Even if I enlarged all project tabs. When I go back to the last tab, the window is small again.

This is normal and expected behavior for floating toolbars on a Mac (for the style of windows that these are).  Practically all standard Mac applications with floating windows like that behave this way.  Those windows are not usually relevant when working in other applications so they get out of the way to avoid obscuring the interface of the other applications - it prevents them from blocking access to the other apps' windows and controls.

From what I gather it is also happening on the Windows version which is likely yet another flaw in Serif's interface design as it is not a typical or expected behavior there.  Mac apps should look and behave like Mac apps (more elegantly and sensibly, staying out of the way and letting people get things done); Windows apps should look and behave like Windows apps (more disorganized and confusing, getting in the way of what you are trying to do).

When companies try to make things look "the same" on multiple platforms, they typically wind up creating a product that is inferior on all of them, generally in different ways.
