BUG: Highlighting with Multiple Windows

I always use Logos with two windows side by side. The way Logos works, one window is the main Logos window and contains the full Logos menu. The other window is a floating window with no Logos menu. When I click to open the highlight tool from either window, it default-opens in the main window.

(I know I can drag this docked highlight tool to the other window, but then it treats the highlight tool like any other tab and tries to place newly opened tabs in that tiny menu, so this is unworkable. Plus, I prefer to have only one highlight tool open.)

The problem occurs when I try to highlight something in the floating Logos window using the highlight tool in the main Logos window. 

Sometimes, I can highlight in the resource in the floating window, and then click the highlight style in the highlight tool in the main window, and it applies the highlight correctly in the floating window. 

Much, much more often, however, (especially if any of the tabs in the main window have any text selected), it will prefer to highlight the selected text in some hidden tab in the main window, rather than the immediately, previously selected text in the floating window. 

This makes highlighting in the Desktop app excruciatingly painful, as I am constantly having to figure out where I was accidentally highlighting. Sometimes, I accidentally highlight the same random place in a hidden tab multiple times before figuring out what is happening, and usually it was previously selected because I had already highlighted it, so now I have to figure out which highlight I had intended to have, and what highlights I inadvertently added. Overall, it is a big mess. 

Please make it so the highlight tool knows to apply the highlight only to the previously selected text, regardless of which window it was in.
