Nice to have: Tabs becomings windows

Using C:B Nightly build.

At the moment, it is not possible to drag a tab (Projects, Symbols, Resources) to stick it on a side of the main window as a separate window.
Also the [Open files list] object is a separate window and cannot be added as a tab into the main [Management] windows.

Nothing critical and I guess it could be quite complex to implement such a flexibility but I just wanted to know if there was any plan for that?

This is due to limitations in both Code::Blocks and wxAUI (the library that does the docking windows).  First I think CB only supports one editor at a time which is also why split view only splits the current file.  Second wxAUI in the version used by CB only controls the docking windows, not the tabs so they can't interact.  Now the new version of wxAUI (in wxWidgets 2.8) supports both tabs and docking windows so you can move windows around as you desire.  What it doesn't do is allow you to 'float' the window.
