Multiple instances of itself yes of course but _that is not the problem_

Try this, open two instances and some app, web browser will do.

Copy some text from the browser to scite, no problem.

Now check what is showing in the other copy... oh dear it is underneath,
put on top.

Now check something on the browser which is now on top of both instances.

It is an ergonomic problem. You need to work both copies together.

A workaround might be possible if Windows local messaging can be used.
If A goes on top it messages B to do the same. Would need a little more
logic about maximise etc. but that would do,
