    I've recently been wondering if there's any plans to change the way the editor's windows are managed. I'm specifically referring to having windows be separated from the main editor and moved to a second desktop. When focusing on a window on the one screen the entire editor is brought into focus, meaning that if I had something open on a browser window and tried to edit something on the one window the other window would be brought in front of my browser.

    I suspect it's related to the editor being built for multiple platforms, but compared to something like Visual Studio it can be quite a burden when you momentarily want to view something else while editing something on Unity. Ultimately it would be great if this issue can be addressed or even just have somebody point me in the direction of a solution.
