Steps to reproduce:

After creating email, selecting 'send' brings up spell check dialog box. But the box can't be moved away from centre of email, so obscures some of email which often contains words for which correction is suggested, but can't see the word.

Tried to click and hold on window and move it, but it won't move.


Actual results:

Spellcheck dialog box stays in top centre of email


Expected results:

Spellcheck dialog box should? move to any position within email

Confirmed. This is because the dialogs open from the toolbox. If the dialog would be a window, it would open independent and movable.

Made a quick patch but this didn't work.

Aleth, you are the OS X secialist. Do you know how this dialog can be made independent from the toolbar?

Modal dialogs aren't movable in OS X, so probably removing "modal" from the opendialog call in editor/ui/composer/content/ComposerCommands.js would change this. Not sure it's a good idea though.

From the Mac-only bugs in https://mzl.la/2dZNgta we have bug 237995. Is that a match?
whoa, 13 years old? No screenshot, but it's possible!

To clarify, if you make it non-modal, you have to check the code flow so that you don't end up with an orphaned dialog etc.
