Description gshankman 2004-04-20 16:02:05 UTC 
What happened to the ability to open multiple
editor windows?  That is a feature from 3.5 that I
really miss in 3.6.  I'm working around it right
now by having one really big editor window that is
split between two monitors, but this isn't a very
user-friendly solution.  Why was this feature
taken out, and can it be put back in?

Implemented in main trunk, views and editors now can be dragged and dropped
outside of main window on second monitor.
