I’m working on a project, and I want to open another file (perhaps to drag it into said project). So I go to the Bridge and I double-click on the file, and it opens up, taking up the whole workspace like it should. HOWEVER, when I click the downsize button (to make it a smaller movable window) it makes it a smaller window in the top left corner, but I can’t move it and I can’t see my other project that’s supposedly behind it. I have to maximize it, and then totally minimize it to see whatever is behind it.

Sometimes something really weird happens (I don’t know if it’s because I did something different or not). When I click the downsize button, the window totally disappears. No smaller window, no bar at the bottom. I can still see the document in the Navigator, however. To get it back, I usually just quickly create a new document, then exit out of it, and my original project that I was working on is back again.

I would really like to be able to just click that downsize button to have multiple movable smaller windows so I can easily drag stuff from one project to another.

Thanks in advance for your help.
