Floating a Tab

Sometimes it is handy to break up the user interface in multiple freestanding windows. Every tab in DbVisualizer can be placed in a separate window by "floating" the tab. Use the Floating menu choice in the tab header right-click menu to float the tab in a separate window. An alternative is to drag the tab outside of the window. To dock the tab with the original location, right-click the tab and deselect Floating.

Closing a top level floating window will for Object View and SQL Commander tabs ask whether to really close the tab as it is then closed permanently and will not be restored in the DbVisualizer window. Closing an Object View sub tab, will hide the tab. To restore it, right-click another sub tab and select Restore Hidden Tabs.
