For laughs, I tried to minimize the Reports window on MacOS and it refuses to minimize even with the minimize hint include as a window flag. The min tool button is there but is dimmed out and not usable.

So perhaps we go away from Minimizing these large non-modal windows and instead add a routine and a button to keep them open but shrunk just so that the titlebar can be seen. I think it is BetterRed who said he had a tool that added that feature, perhaps it is one we should try to mimic.

I will try it under KDE and Manjaro to see how Linux handles that.
