[Avid-L2] Avid MC 2019.12.5 Floating Panels vs. Bins opening in Active Bin? Titler+ Promoting

I'm finally working at a place that has gone past MC 2018.X.  I'm on Avid MC 2019.12.X  on a PC.

I generally hit the float all panels under workspaces menu but it seems whenever I open a new bin from the project window it opens as a new tab in an existing active bin.  Is there a setting that will make it open in it's on window.  I can drag it out of the bin and it is it's own window then but I want to emulate the behavior I've always had.  Is this possible.

Also the Hide/Show Sidebar options seem to be inconsistent and often greyed out.  I found if the bin is too narrow that effect the ability to show the sidebar but it often seems random why the three sidebar related menu items are functional or not.  Can someone shed some light on the Spirit of how these controls are supposed to work?

Bonus is they are having to use Titler+.  I promoted one title and it came up with the text but totally positioned wrong but 3 others came up blank.  I know Titler+ is iffy but to not even bring up the text at all is maddening.  Upgrading is not an option as this is a big facility and I have no control over that.  If anyone has found the be all of tutorials on Titler+ I'd appreciate the link.
