capture of a folding

I love the new way that the popup dialog appear, and the fact that it is now binded to the main window.

But in some cases it breaks my workflow, because I can not copy and paste from my main window to my popup dialog.

What about offering a way of folding the popup dialog away to let the user to copy some data from it.

As an idea, I'll join in attachement a capture of a way to do a folding.
