Well, the most obvious is that you can undock e.g. a fill and stroke dialog from every document window, at which point you have many identical dialogs with no indication of which one belongs to which document. Nor do undocked panels go away when their parent document
is
closed. It is very frustrating (and also space-consuming).
Yes, it's weird, but not really incorrect, so long as all undocked ones correctly track and reflect the selection in the active desktop (which they hopefully do without interfering with each other).
I think a per-document dialog remaining open when its owning document has been closed is clearly incorrect. It's bad enough that you can't tell them apart otherwise.
As far as I can tell, the only way to keep this under control is to
share a single undocked instance between documents, with the
traditional
"current document" behavior for dialogs.
Forcing that would be nice, yes.
It would be my preferred solution as well.
