The console window is really helpful when you're trying to work out why all your fusion nodes are red, or if you're doing any scripting or even using scripts. But having it as a floating window is super annoying because it disappears behind the Resolve window when it gets activated, AKA every time you need it. Fortunately on Linux the window manager lets me choose to have it always float on top, but it would be a lot less tedious if it lived say, as a tab in the panel with the metadata. I don't see why it has to be the one floating window in the Resolve "we don't do floating windows here" regime.

Curiously, it only disappears behind the main Resolve window on Linux. It doesn't happen on Windows/macOS.

That figures, the OS windowing system is in control of this kind of behaviour. Even floating on top it still gets in the way, wherever you put it.
