Hi,
Currently to my best knowledge both of the interface for 5.x and 6.x are same from user-input perspective. What feature you are requesting is something like Pop-up screen float around on UI for user input?
I can't affirm if I want to vote up or down for this feature, but evaluating it from end user perspective
Pros: As you mentioned I don't have to click on the hyperlink for user input to open that window.
Cons: I find it more annoying. Automatically Pop-up of this window will obstruct user navigation to other section until he click somewhere out of this pop (as ideally happens on most of sites prompting pop-up). So ultimately it is more annoying assuming as an end user I want to navigate to other section of ROC I have to always click out of that pop-up, so finally more clicks.
Currently I don't think it is there, but feel free to post an idea for the same.
Regards,
Saurabh
