Dialog box obscures information

Using wxw 2.9.3, latest 1.17 pgadmin:

This is not an error, just a suggestion for improved interaction.

When viewing data from a table or view, begin by selecting all data.
Then click on the funnel icon to get the dialog that allows you to enter
a sorting order or a filter. Pops up no problem.

Now, the issue is that when it pops up it obscures important information
that you might need for the sort or filter. It appears to very
effectively cover not only the existing data (not much of an issue,
since you are about to change that), but also a whole chunk of the field
names which you will need for typing into the dialog box.

Thinking that all you have to do is move the dialog box to reveal the
field names, you find that dragging the dialog box drags the parent
window with it. Objective defeated.

Ok so you think, no problem, I will get the field names from the SQL
pane on the main pgadmin window which contains the create ...
instructions with the field names. But here, while the main window is
selectable, the vertical and horizontal sliders are non-functional until
the dialog box in the child is dismissed.

So the only way so far is to cancel the dialog, gather all the info, and
start the dialog over again.

I guess there are a number of ways of dealing with this, including
making the field names available inside the child's dialog box (provided
in the sort dialog but not the filter). But the simplest would appear to
be, if possible, make the dialog box draggable independently of the
parent to reveal the field names and types.
