    This is a really embarrassingly noob level of window management question, but:

    How can you get two comp windows open at the same time? I’ve tried, but the UI seems to resist (bastard!).

    I have a pre-comp that has a non-intuitive reaction to enabling constant re-rasterization, and I’d like to see both the final comp and the precomp at the same time.

    As is so often true, figured it out ten minutes later.

    The secret is to invoke a NEW viewer via the dropdown in the current viewer. Then you can drag it to wherever you want.
