Allow more than one grouping content window (or other dialog) to be open at the same time #665

Open

Description

@horhulenko

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I open the content of a grouping (e.g. Content of y0_cone), the window blocks the rest of HAL. I can't open the content of a second grouping or any other window until I close the first one. This makes comparing groupings annoying: I have to open y0_cone, remember or screenshot its gates, close it, then open y1_cone.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make these windows non-blocking, so that several can be open next to each other, e.g. y0_cone and y1_cone side by side. The main window should stay usable while they're open.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Taking screenshots of each window and comparing them outside HAL.
  • Printing the gates of each grouping in the Python console.

Both work, but they're a workaround for something the GUI could just do.
