I would like to sort the following Grid using the sort bar and three sort criteria

I add the 3 sort criteria and it sorts as expected:

If you look at the screenshot, you can see that it sticks out at the bottom. Also, when I activate other windows after IQ, the bar occasionally pops up on top of those other applications and then quickly disappears again. If it can't be taught to behave better, I'd like to disable it as I'm fine with a set width.

[Edit: corrected spelling and syntax]

I have grouped 5 (text fields) columns; Col1-Col5 where Col1 is the left-most column.
I can copy/paste values from Col2-Col5, but not from Col1.

A workaround is to collapse the group. I can then copy/paste from Col1.

I have read about column filters here: http://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/854

I have a text field which is using auto-list of values with two values: Open & Closed. In the grid, I have items with values that are are Blank, Closed and Open.
If I use the column filter and filter for Open or Close it filters properly. However if I set it to "Exclude" +Open or Exclude +Closed, nothing is filtered.

The items are sub-items but match the Grid Source. I filter at any level.

I use the Dropbox Sync option to access IQ from two computers, my laptop and my desktop. While this syncs regular info items w/o problems, I am unable to access links to files from both of my computers at the same time, even though I set the .Files path for each computer as per 2.4.11 in the Options, following the instructions in https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/3066. (The Dropbox paths differ for each computer - for example, in my laptop Dropbox is located in drive C, and in my desktop in drive E.)
