Attribute table minimization!!

This idea has been merged with Minimize Table Window.

Please restore the basic windows functionality to allow minimize/maximize buttons on the attribute table windows! It is very frustrating to have to drag the window off my screen every time I don't want to look at it and I don't want to sacrifice screen space by docking it in the map frame. This is particularly frustrating when trying to give presentations on an projected display where I lose my dual screen functionality.

Thanks!

I strongly agree. ESRI as been adding some 'flashy' functionality to it's new releases, but it seems to come at the expense of the regular everyday capabilites.

I cannot agree enough. The minimize button is one of those small conveniences that make my work easier. The existing minimize functionality automatically minimizes when I don't want it to and pops up any time I roll my mouse over it. Please bring back that little button.

The change to the new Tables is the worst addition in a long time. I also used to spend a lot of time with multiple tables open at once.

We also need the RESTORE button, as well.
     This seems almost passive-agressive on the ESRI programmer's part. :( It's simply unbelievable that whoever that is wouldn't have understood the need for the other buttons, as well. Are there really people in the world that don't use the minimize/maximize/restore buttons? Obviously, this programmer is one.

     "OK, if you force me to, I'll give you your stupid maximise button, but I'll only give you the other ones if they make me do that, too." - See more at: Add "Maximize Button" to attribute table

They added back the Maximize, but NOT the Restore and MInimize?!

Sorry, on that last comment, I tried to do a copy past of some text several time, and it didn't appear in the edit windows, so I didn't think it was there. It only appeared after I entered Post Comment. It would be great if we had the ability to edit/delete our comments.

I agree. Having a minimize button for attribute tables (or other windows) is one of those seemingly-minor things that has a weirdly outsized impact on my workflows.
