 Simple Suggestion: Don't scale the object form

Hi there! Simple suggestion for the room editor.

The editor box for objects seems to have a zoom setting that's directly tied to the scale factor of the room editor. I understand why this seemed useful--if I want to zoom way out to see everything, why have huge edit boxes blocking stuff?

But from a practical perspective, why would I open edit boxes if I have no intention of actually using them?
And in the current incarnation of things, shown below, the editor box is unusable when zoomed out.


It would be extremely useful if the object editor form was at 100% zoom regardless of the room editor. I'd rather have few full-size forms that I open and close than have a dozen forms open at once that are all too small to see.

Related note: if I manage to activate the "Edit Object" button on that tiny form, the entire room zooms into 100% in order to display the full object editor. If you pre-empt this by having the initial form at 100%, then there's a double-benefit: The room editor stays at whatever zoom level I wanted, and the editor forms are full-sized and usable.
