[FIXED] Python: Spyder switching between undocked editor window and spyder console

Issue

I'm running Spyder 3.2.4 in Windows 10

Despite my best efforts, my code is getting too wide to view in Spyder's default layout. I have therefore tried undocking the editor window. However, the undocked editor does not show up in the taskbar. Which leads me to the question, is there a way of switching between the main Spyder window and the undocked editor window?

Solution

(Spyder maintainer here) You need to go to the little cog menu on the right of the Editor and select the option New window to get a proper window.

This will be improved in Spyder 4 by allowing all our panes to generate a new window when undocked (Note: This is already implemented in Spyder master branch, in case you want to try it).
