Opening a command palette or another similar popup (including the file recovery interface, settings, etc) in one window blocks a different popup interface from being opened in a second window, even what the second window is selected. Interestingly it also blocks the ctrl-f search within file interface from being opened in the second window, but the ctrl-f interface having been opened in one window doesn’t block the command palette etc from being opened in another window. Note this isn’t sensitive to which window is the main window.
