Description:
Panels in the UI (which I think are incorrectly referred to as windows - in all other UIs I've used there are called panels) have a minimise and a close option on the top right of the panel.
The minimise option when clicked displays a list of tabbed objects associated with the panel.
The minimise option should minimise the panel.
The only way to maximise adjacent panels is to use the sizing bar (between panels) or close the offending panel (the one you want to minimise).

How to repeat:
Attempt to minimise a panel.

Suggested fix:
The View -> Windows menu (maybe should be View -> Panels) does not seem to include the panel immediately below the MySQL Model/EER Diagram panel - the one where the table tabs appear.

I can see the error of my ways now that I've played around with the UI.
Just out of interest what is the UI based on.
