Minimized Script/Notecard/etc. Windows

Alright, this has been a hassle for me ever since I can remember within SL. When I have multiple windows opened (looking at two scripts, or a notecard and a script, or the FIND window, etc.) I can minimize them to see chat text. The problem occurs when I need to minimize multiple windows... for whatever reason, they always want to stack on top of each other, and that drives me NUTS!

For instance, I'm editing a script with a notecard opened as well. Then, an IM comes in, so I minimize the notecard and script windows to see the IM. This works fine, and the script is minimized alongside the first minimized window. However, the problem arises when I restore say the notecard window... then minimize it again to save screen-space. This causes it to stack ontop of the minimized script window. So, to get to the script, I have to first restore the notecard window again, then restore the script, then re-minimize the notecard window.

I realize it's difficult to follow along with that example, but I'm sure others have noticed a bug in the way minimized windows stack within SL at times.

Hmm, I'm in feature suggestions... oops. Well, here's my suggestion, add a feature to slot the minimized windows properly :)

Wouldn't this be better off in a bug forum? But you're right, it annoys me too. Perhaps if the minimized windows auto-aligned to the bottom left, and as you restored windows they all reshuffled along the side of the window it'd work out better.
