Why should this be worked on?

Need more info on this

Just to add a distinction, any widget can be floating widget it denotes that the widget is floating on top of another widget.

Will check with the user once, if they mean layers or just one layer.

@dilippitchika Could be something like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7-4IUy6ht4 . More like the end-user should be able to move the widget around on the canvas.

@vuiets this is talking about layers, we need to deal with this in the UI Builders POD

  1. I built a long form with a bunch of Input and Select widgets. So I scroll down and down and want to go to the TOP for some reason 😺 , I think I need a floating button on the right side.
  2. Let's say I have two containers both holding some contents, but I don't want them to be placed horizontally or vertically. In fact, I want their visible properties set to a fault and to be controlled by buttons. If I don't click on button 1, container 1will not show, and container 2 would float to container 1's place dynamically so that there won't be a blank space.
  3. (I'm not sure if this is a floating widget issue) For example one container holding two forms (or images whatever), but form 2 is invisible if don't let it be visible. Once I make form 2 visible, I want form 1 to change its size to make a room for form 2, or form 1 fills up the parent container.

For 2 and 3 - We have a different issue (#11038) where we are exactly doing the same thing.

Regarding 1- I think we would simply provide an option to turn on scroll to top etc. which may then end up revealing a button to do the same.

This widget would help to visualize a list of options that validates the visibility of other widgets in the canvas. I have a long form, so it would be useful if I can hide some widgets while I'm scrolling

@ivanromerog I'm unclear on your use case. Could you explain what you mean maybe with an image?
