My personal workaround at the time was to use View > New view in that first window to make Gimp open a second window on the image, and then close the initial one.

But your post made me re-check the problem, and I can't reproduce it on my current Gimp version (3.1.5)

3.1.5?? You are forward in time, haha. I have the 3.0.4 stable, maybe you refer to 3.1.2?

Anyway, the issue with the docks is NOT related TO MULTI-MONITORS. It happens even you have all in the same display. When you click on any dock, the first opened image is brought to front. I made a little video about it:

Look at the title bars, they show how i click on the dock, and inmediately the first windows popup to front.

Sorry, I meant 3.1.3 (I compile Gimp from latest source)

I never mentioned multi-monitors? It's all about being in multi-windows (obviously a mode the Gimp devs don't use much).

And when I had the problem I did View > New view in the initial window (normally the one with image id "1.0"(*), so "Rosas Pintadas" for you) which gives a second window on the same image (that will show as "1.1" when the original one is "1.0"), and close the original window ("1.0").

(*) In 1.0, 1 is the image id, and 0 is a view id, 0 being assigned to the first view. You can have several views on the same image (especially useful if they are a different zoom levels, or using different display filters), they are updated in sync. As long as there is one view the image is kept open by Gimp.

Hi Ofnuts. Yes, it "solves", or so, the problem. BUT when you open the new view, all docks become hidden, so you need to hide/show them so make them appear again, and re position the windows again in your screen.
Doing all this appear the tribal ritualism before eat the hunted bison... haha. Hope in the future they adress it.
