Found this whilst playing with my settings on the Control Menu in 2.9.11.
Only seems to do the following if you have Show Status ticked.
(1) Pick one of your entries (mine is a counter) in Control Menu and tick the show status checkbox (and enter user code etc).
(2) Now dropdown any Phrase word list. You\'ll notice the the phrase word field title highlights in blue.
(3) Now wait. You\'ll see the phrase word field title highlight change to grey.
(4) Now click on the middle panel and voila, a floating dropdown list that isn\'t connected to the dropdown arrow anymore. You have to exit Comfigurator to clear it.
If you click on the floating box though you\'ll get:
Unhandled exception:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Had great fun trying to pin this sequence down. With a bit of judicious clicking you can get all 4 phrase word dropdowns floating independently of Comfigurator.
