Yeah I do the workarounds cited above, but it has to be said that it would be very convenient to be able to "undock" them from the PC, even if they weren't actually taken out of the PC entirely (you could have a separate pop-up window which is a magnified, moveable mirror of the PC module).
Comparing one in the inspector and one in the console isn't so ideal when like me you have the inspector on the far left of your first monitor, and the console on your second monitor. And dragging tracks out of their established order discombobulates me a little.
