When Activity pane, when Activity window? Keep window visible?

DT 3.9.4 here. I’ve never understood when the Activity pane is activated in the sidebar and when it appears (or doesn’t appear) as a standalone window. (When, for example a large scanned document is being OCR’ed to searchable PDF.) Where such “activity” is displayed seems to vary from day to day and task to task; if there’s a rhyme or reason to this it evades me. While the pane is a good idea vis-à-vis reducing on-screen clutter, I think, what I would really like is a preference setting that gives me the option of showing the progress of an activity in either the pane or the standalone window and, moreover, of keeping the window open until I choose to close it so that, should I switch out of DT3 to another app, the activity window doesn’t disappear. That would be very helpful for situations when I want to informally monitor something going on in the background, as it were, in DT3 while another application’s windows are in the foreground…
