The ability to minimise the window would allow me to "hide" the dialogue temporarily while examining the context and then quickly return to it once I had decided if/how I wanted to correct the offending word.

I would hope this is a relatively trivial change.

@BobC - In Windows I have something that puts a roll-up/down button (and others) on all windows (rolls the window into the title bar), its part of the multiple monitor support package I use from Actual Tools. There's a free utility called Extra Buttons that seems to provide the same features. I find them useful everywhere - especially stay on top, can't really imagine life without it.

There's something that does similar for Mac but I forget its name.
