Windows appearing on top of or overlapping each other
My friends and I have been playing on a workshop made sub called the Jotunn. Onboard, there is a medical fabricator adjacent to a storage cabinet. Both of these work perfectly. They are linked, so that selecting the cabinet also opens the medical fabricator. However, if you interact with the medical fabricator first, the cabinet does not open. From that point on, if you select the cabinet, the window for the medical fabricator and the storage cabinet overlap, both of them appearing in the middle of the screen. I have not found any way to move the windows apart, and it is difficult to work with the one that is covered. The mechanics on the ship say the same thing happens with the storage cabinet linked to the deconstructor and fabricator. None of us have been able to find a way to move the windows without leaving the server and rejoining.

Here's an image of the overlap issue between the cabinet and the medical fabricator.

A similar issue has been happening with the storage containers added with the newest update. When holding one, the inventory window can be dragged and moved. When holding two, their respective inventories overlap with each other and with fabricators' or cabinets' inventories, making it more difficult to interact with their contents.

Here is an image of that occuring.

When holding one of the gray or orange storage crates, the window can be selected and moved so it doesn't cover another interface. We have not found a way to do this with anything else yet.

Is there a way to move windows so they do not overlap? If there is not, I would appreciate the addition of a way to click and drag windows for storage containers, cabinets, and fabricators so that they do not overlap when you have multiple open.

Handheld container windows are moveable, no real reason why the others couldn't be too (with a sensible default starting position).

both fabricator and storage that are linked should have "display side by side when linked" checked, otherwise the overlap occurs.

found a way to fix it for a while, just use screwdiver (you don't need to wire orr something just open wire menu) on fabricator and it will be work properly (for me)

Thanks!! Can't believe this worked, it resets the windows position to normal
