material editor location

the material editor always opens in the upper left corner of the screen, covering all the useful toolbars. so I resize it and move it out of the way, and then close it. when i open again, it is not where i left it, it is back to the upper left. so i spend a lot of time moving and resizing it. it would also be nice if it could be minimized. this was all possible in 1.50 - was there a reason it was changed?

also, the “?” button next to the close icon in the upper right of the window does nothing. I vote for removal.

thanks!

And best the right side can be minimized, so that the we have the left side material browser only - good for assigning materials only. I have a large screen but the current material browser/editor cost to much space.

Great idea!

I Like the idea. However, if you just want to apply a material to an object without opening the material editor, you can right click on the material icon and this will open a combo box where you can select the material to be apply.
