  - popups: clicking outside (to close popup) and holding shouldn't drag window below.
  - popups: add variant using global identifier similar to Begin/End (#402)
  - popups: border options. richer api like BeginChild() perhaps? (#197)

  - tooltip: drag and drop with tooltip near monitor edges lose/changes its last direction instead of locking one. The drag and drop tooltip should always follow without changing direction.
  - tooltip: tooltip that doesn't fit in entire screen seems to lose their "last preferred direction" and may teleport when moving mouse.
  - tooltip: allow to set the width of a tooltip to allow TextWrapped() etc. while keeping the height automatic.
  - tooltip: tooltips with delay timers? or general timer policy? (instantaneous vs timed): IsItemHovered() with timer + implicit aabb-id for items with no ID. (#1485)
+ - tooltip: drag tooltip hovering over source widget with IsItemHovered/SetTooltip flickers.
 
  - menus: calling BeginMenu() twice with a same name doesn't append as Begin() does for regular windows (#1207)
  - menus: menu bars inside modal windows are acting weird.

  - filters: handle wild-cards (with implicit leading/trailing *), reg-exprs

- - drag and drop: drag tooltip hovering over source widget with IsItemHovered/SetTooltip flickers.
  - drag and drop: fix/support/options for overlapping drag sources.
  - drag and drop: releasing a drop shows the "..." tooltip for one frame - since e13e598 (#1725)
  - drag and drop: drag source on a group object (would need e.g. an invisible button covering group in EndGroup) https://twitter.com/paniq/status/1121446364909535233
