Making function stack view window like behave like other windows

Hello, I’m wondering if it’s possible to make the Function Stack Variables window behave like other windows in IDA.

I’ve set up a custom default layout with certain windows in specific positions and sizes. For example, when I open Local Types, it opens as a floating window so I can see both the disassembly and types simultaneously, which is convenient.

However, the Function Stack Variables window behaves differently. I can make it floating and resize it, and saving the layout works—but only for the function I’m currently viewing. When I navigate to another function and open the stack variables window, it opens a new tab that obstructs the disassembly instead of reusing my floating layout.

I’d like the stack variables window to behave more like the other windows: floating, resizable, and persistent across functions, so it doesn’t block the disassembly view.

Would this be possible in any near future ? Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for describing your issues and expectations regarding the behaviour of Stack Variables window. We’ll take a look and discuss if this something we may consider as possible future tweak.
