Font explorer dropdown from the Character section in Properties panel is obscured by other panels with 2 columns of docked panels
Running 30.2.1
When the new Character panel is open and font has been selected, the panel is now so big that it becomes obscured if I open a property on the second panel, so I cannot make further font adjustments without closing the second panel.
It seems the properties panel process is selective for some properties and not for others, e.g., Transform opens in both panels, whereas Appearance does not. The UX seems inconsistent. Something feels off.

Hi Egor
The overlap only appears to occur with the Character selection dropdown from the first Properties column, except the font descriptions sit UNDERNEATH any subsequent panel you open in the second column (not above as per yours) meaning the font information is obscured. See my attached expanded screen shot.
I’ve just checked on my other machine, which is running 2021 (perfectly, I might add!), and the panel sits above all the other floating panels, as per your screen shot.

Eddie, am I right presuming this happens only for the font explorer dropdown that gets called from the Properties only? And when you check a similar one in the Character panel, it gets rendered above other floating panels, as expected (just like the attached image shows)?
