BUG: Loose toolbars cluttering alt-tab view

Hi everyone,

I just upgraded to Rhino 8 and took my time to setup my rhino just as I want. I usually run my viewport on fullscreen 27" and then having all my toolbars on my second 15" monitor.

Never had any real issues with it on Rhino 6/7, except my interface settings resetting from time to time, especially when switching monitors and resolution - which was very frustrating (is this still an issue?)

My problem now is that all my loose toolbars are cluttering my alt-tab. Never had the issue happening in Rhino 7. Its quite irritating having 4-5 extra items on my alt-tab overview. Is there a fix for this?

Alt-tab cluttered with toolbars:

My ui config:

hi @filip.heim

thanks for reporting, I see this here too (actually worse)
can you run _SystemInfo and post back the results?
