Description
Since one of the recent updates (approx. in the last half to 3/4 year) the window that pops up on disconnect to reconnect is always on top and can't be in the background (of the stack of windows).
This is quite annoying to me, as I'm sometimes busy with whatever was in the foreground at that moment and don't want and need to immediately deal with the disconnected VPN.
If this is intended: Is there an option to restore the previous behavior of being able to put in the background, e.g. by focusing another window?
(Had a look through the settings, didn't find it.)
If not: Please fix 0:-)
I'm on Windows 10 22H2 and have recently updated OpenVPN from a version from approx. last summer where this was possible to 2.6.1.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the disconnect and reconnect-window behavior on Windows 10 with OpenVPN GUI 2.6.1, then trace the GUI entry point that creates or focuses that window. Done means the disconnect window can be sent behind other windows as before, or the intended behavior and available setting are documented.
