Could the Sheet Sandbox Tools popup, not start out in the same place that character sheets start out?

When you enter a custom sheet sandbox, there is a popup called "Sheet Sandbox Tools" that allows you to open a new html,  css or translation with its upper right corner near the upper right edge of the vtt space.  Usually when developing a sheet using the sheet sandbox, you have one or more character sheets open (since the whole point of the tool is to see the effect upon sheets. These all start out with their upper right corner near the upper right edge. Often one makes changes to both the css and the html, and then want to load in both the new css and the new html, one right after the other.  When you load a new html or css, all open sheets blink gone, and then reappear with the changes to the html/css applied. No matter where you had moved them to, they always appear with their upper right corner near the upper right edge of the map. Since the character sheets are much bigger than sheet sandbox tools, they all completely obscure the tools popup, so in order to use the tool again you need to move each of the character sheets out of the way, so that you can access the tools popup again. Obviously the solution is to move the Sheet Sandbox Tools away from its starting location, and move it to a better place before opening any sheet or using the tools. But sometimes one forgets. Wouldn't it be better if the tools started out in a place where it will not be covered up by character sheets as soon as it is used? Would it be possible for the default location of the sheet sandbox tools to be such that it was in some other corner than the sheets that will be appearing whenever the tools are used? Maybe the lower right or upper left? This is a minor issue, but it has been a minor irritation so often, and it seems so easy to improve.
