Move Dimension Location when Editing Constraint in the Model Tree??

When you're working in an assembly and you click on a constraint it used to pop the dimension up in a nice clean dialog box at the bottom of the screen so the whole model tree was still viewable.  In 2020 the dimension is now in an annoying little dialog box that completely covers up the item below the constraint you're editing and we cannot find any way to move this.

You need to change it in the browser

Thanks but that completely disables the ability to change a constraint value without editing the actual constraint.  Versions back it would pop up the number at the bottom of the browser and not cover anything.  I understand the intent with this but if you're not sure which constraint you want to edit, you click on one, see what it is in the model, if that's not it you click the next one.  The number dialog covers up the next one almost completely unless you have your model tree wide and taking up a good portion of your workspace.

 

If it's the way it is then we understand, question was if there was a way to move it (and if not then might be a suggestion for next version)

Double click the constraint instead of a single click...  Is that what you were looking for?

 

But no you can't move that initial single click box that I know of..

Maybe there is a registry setting hiding somewhere but I haven't looked..

This is a very frustrating feature that I am dealing with also. Hopefully this can change.

Hi! I thought the issue was resolved in one of the updates to 2020. Please install 2020.2 update followed by 2020.2.2 update.

Many thanks!
