Ok, looking for bugs saming mine... I think this one describes best...
I don't think it's a duplicate of #1284278 or if it is, bugs as #1803917 #1006438 #1418301 #1577060 are derived from the same fact.

We have a heavy problem with tools and properties windows in floating mode...
Using floating windows, at the moment you open or create a second document, all "tool windows" opens ALSO for that second document... And then we are lost: Windows doesn't more correspond to their respective document, in fact you have no way to know which window is for what...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May be I'm totally wrong, but it seems that code is hesitating between two ideas:
-Having one set of "tool windows" for ALL opened documents, so changes affects only the actual/active/last focused doc.

- Having a set of "tool windows" for EVERY opened document... But in that case, "tool windows" MUST switch their display according to the active document. If not, user is f*** up...

Kind of Conflict between System Window Manager and Inkscape's one?
It seems to, because changing this option (Windows options, "Dialogs on top" also) I obtained something correct... look attached image... Then I have only one set of "tool windows" switching the focus normally according to the active document...
