Cant get PRV in Multidock ?

It won't open at all? Weird.

What about double-clicking a MIDI clip?

Well heres what happened, it was opening but as a minutely shrunken window way up in the top corner of my second monitor. Obviously all subsequent attempts to open a PRV were ignored as there was already one 'open' - albeit barely visible - problem solved and now I can start to look at the smart tool in PRV - Phew !

The new PRV is driving me a little batty.  According to the helpfile, double clicking on a clip should bring it up in non-Inline PRV, but it brings up staff view instead.  When I use Alt-3 to open it as Inline PRV, it opens up minimized in the multidock.  I'd really like it to open up maximized fullscreen, not in the dock at all. 

If I make it floating, it messes up the layout for my track view, resizing track view to a third of the screen.

The subwindow open/close maximize don't seem to follow any pattern.  ALT-F4 is usually Windows standard to close the entire app, but there seems to be a mix of CTRL-F4 to close some floating windows and ALT-F4 to close other subwindows.  I just want to close a subwindow and keep getting prompted to save the file when I use CTRL-F4 - meaning Sonar or the entire project is going to be closed.  I would like to get some predictability here - don't have us use ALT-F4 to close subwindows EVER.   If I click on the upper left of a floating maximized PRV window, the shortcut to close shows as CTRL-F4, but that method doesn't prompt me to save my work and simply closes the subwindow. Same holds for using the PRV window's "X" in the upper right. If I use the CTRL-F4, Sonar attempts to save and close out of the project.

Is there a simple way to pop up a maximized PRV for a clip and a single keystroke (escape, perhaps) to CLOSE (not minimize to dock, not resize--CLOSE the PRV subwindow).  The old way of toggling it on and off using ALT-5, was so elegant--the dock actually seems silly for this.  I don't want some old PRV from a clip I worked on an hour ago to stay open on the dock in case I might need that exact edit again.  If I need that, I can open a fresh one.  Because of the buggy subwindow close assignment, there is no mouse-free way to close these PRV subwindows.
