Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 4.0.4904
- OS: Windows
- OS Version: 10
- CPU Architecture: x64
Bug Description:
On platforms other than Windows, setting a sidebar widget to "floating" will show the sidebar widget as a floating window that says on top of other windows. This does not work on Windows, where the "floating" and "windowed" states work the same, where it does not stay on top of other windows.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the sidebar widget implementation and comparing the Windows floating behavior with other platforms, focusing on how the floating and windowed states are distinguished. Done means a floating sidebar widget on Windows remains above other windows while the windowed state does not.
