Description chidveer chinthakuntla CLA 2018-04-12 10:45:42 EDT 
When i click on "minimize the window" that holds the various views like (Terminal, Tasks etc,.) should minimize to the bottom instead of minimizing to the left corner.
The screenshot also includes that - Debug view is minimizing to the left corner.
It will help the user experience, if the views minimize to their respective corners - So that, i don't have search for "where is the window (i just minimized)".
If there are multiple windows minimized to the same corner - i don't have to search for the one i need(Left corner of the screenshot have my 1. Tasks window and 2. Outline windows, squeezed next to each other).

To better refer to my explanation - Something like Intellij, minimizes its windows (its better because its more obvious to the user and they don't have to think about - where did my window go)

screenshot after minimizing the windows.

Debug window went to left corner.
Outline and other view windows squeezed to right corner.

Just saw that we can drag and drop the minimized windows but, it would have been more intuitive - if it was done for more me by the IDE (or) give a pop-balloon saying, i can do soo.
