That wouldn't be a good solution. Floating forms have a different purpose than
modal/amodal dialogs. It is a virtual extension for some control, like the
expanded list of a dropdown. When you show the color picker somewhere else than
at the picker itself it feels like a dialog: heavy.

I expect that a floating form closes when it lose the focus, which would be the
fact on resize. If that isn't possible for some reasons we should rather
evaluate the position of the parent control and replace the floater
accordingly. If we do so it would be required for all floating controls. Sounds
like a lot of trouble.
