[Qgis-user] Georeferencer bug 3743 fix?

[William Kyngesburye]

The windows shouldn't move or resize on their own, so as long as you have a part of each visible, you can activate them with a click when necessary.

YES, it's clunky, but it's all we have.

Mac QGIS developers are rare.  Maybe there will be someone at the upcoming hackfest that can take a look at it.
