I don’t say this often, but Jira got this correct. When you’re creating a new ticket, it’s done in a modal. But if you close it or click the “X”, it minimizes to the bottom of the page so that you can look at other tickets, or look up something relevant to the one you’re making.

I’ve been trained that modals are ephemeral, and I have to take a sec of “ugh I have to close this to look stuff up…wait, no I don’t” when using Jira
