Changing file in editor with [Ctl]+[tab] uncompatible with tiling window manager

[ElieGouzien]

Problem Description

The widget opened when using [Ctl]+[tab] opens as full window with (i3) tiling window manager.
I think it should be opened as a floating window (just like the file switcher or symbol finder).

What steps will reproduce the problem?

• Open Spyder with i3 window manager ;
• open two files ;
• switch file with [Ctl] + [Tab].

I can try. Could you tell me in which file to look ?
