This must've been brought up, but a cursory check didn't yield anything.

So...

Let's have a tik box in gameplay options to prevent the minimizing of open windows by the double-clicking of their headers. Put it adjacent to the 'Only Snap Windows while Pressing Shift' option.

Maybe others finds some use in it, but for me it can be highly annoying as it tends to remind me of its existence at the worst possible times - like say, frantically trying to click the warp button.

It's a small thing, but one that I think a lot of players would appreciate.

Fixed the above for you as the option for snapping was removed.

The windows don't minimize on double-click they only "fold up" to a bar. Is this what you want to prevent?

OK, I can see how that would be a QoL improvement for some. Personally not affected but I'll give it my support. Maybe add a configurable option like "Click to Roll Up" so you can set it to 5 or just a simple "Enable\Disable Window Roll Up".

I'd say if you're rolling up windows your cursor is in the wrong place for the Warp button though Blink

yes, the amount of times I've nearly died to that thing. In the heat of battle you accidentally double click the wrong part of the overview window and you have to waste precious seconds getting it back instead of engaging the enemy, running, getting evasive or burning back to the gate.

Whoever thought it up in the first place needs to be kicked squarely in the nuts...

Or just prevent it from minimizing when the option 'Lock Windows When Pinned' is checked

Not everyone "pins" all the windows but an option to prevent it would be nice.
