What is the bug or the crash?
I upgraded from 3.20 to 3.26 and found that when I use a project any open attribute tables are no longer separate 'objects' on my windows task bar. Print layouts remain as separate 'objects' that can be selected. This behaviour appears to be the same as when using the identify tool with a pop-up form (i.e. each open attribute form is treated as part of the canvas window).
If this is a new 'feature' please turn it off by default - it is unexpected behaviour.
This change is confusing - I cannot easily work with multiple attribute tables or other apps that use overlapping screen footprint (e.g. transcribing field names from Excel - I have to close the attribute tables otherwise they overlay the Excel window when focus is on QGIS). Also I cannot easily navigate to different attribute tables except by dragging them around. I work with 2 screens and usually have the attribute tables on the 'auxiliary' screen to save switching between windows constantly.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Open a project with layers
Open more than 1 attribute table
Switch to another app
Select QGIS from windows task bar - only one task is visible for QGIS and all attribute tables that are open - it is no longer possible to navigate to them
