Toolbox Window

[oyearian]

The toolbox is "slaved", for want of a better word, to the first image opened, whatever that image may be. If I move the image window, the toolbox moves with it. I am in multi image mode; I've checked. If I activate a different image and click on a tool (or anything in the toolbox) the first image becomes active and jumps to the top. The effect of this is that I can really only work on one image at a time. Work effectively, that is. I'm probably just missing a new setting or something.

Using linux and a Gimp 3.0 appimage. Going into multi-window mode
I do not get the "linked" effect, the toolbox/tooloptions dock does not move with the image window but both dock "hide" if a second image is open. They come back with the first image active. Very strange. I did look into preferences -> window management and nothing there that seems to fix that problem.

Since you are using a Mac version I recommend posting the details as a bug https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues

Actually it is "slaved" to the first Gimp window (the one with the Wilber's head), which is later made the windows of the first image.

Workaround: in that "first image", do View > New view which opens another window on the same image, then close the original one. There is no longer any "first window".

This has been reported as bug, but I can't find it.
