I don't really consider what I do in Sigil "reading." Nor do I feel "typography" is an accurate term for describing the presentation of warning/error messages via the gui interface of an application.

We're probably not going to make the change to allow the validation window anywhere. It's already too difficult to rearrange Sigil's widgets in the main window. As soon as you undock one widget. another dock area (usually the wrong one) is trying to claim it as soon as you move it a tiny bit. Making it a complete free-for-all wouldn't really be helping that many people (and would annoy others).

If that's the bar for "reasonable," then I've never owned a reasonable hi-res monitor (not to mention that a lot of my application usage--including Sigil--these days is on a laptop with a 15" screen)

We're not going to be laying out Sigil's gui with the assumption that everyone out there is rocking big, hi-dpi jumbotrons parked in front of their noses. Sigil still needs to make sense on single 1600x900 19" (or even a little less) screens. And on screens that size, having every dock area be fair game for every dockwidget would be a nightmare. Everything's already far too "grabby" for my tastes as it is!
