Thanks Tassilo, I just updated my build and will play with it.

I like the child-frame version more, exactly for the reasons mentioned
by Po Lu above (which are not advantages for me): I find it less
distracting when the context is outside the actual code, and overwriting
scroll bar or the tab-line (which I use) for a short period of time
isn't a big deal.  But that's a matter I taste, I think.

Best, Arash
