Minimizing via taskbar causes order of open NP3 windows on taskbar to change

[jupester]

I checked the changelog and couldn't see anywhere this had been added intentionally, so thought I'd check.

In recent 2024 versions now if I have multiple instances open, when I click on the already active pinned Notepad3 taskbar item, the window goes to the background and the np3 taskbar items get rearranged. I should add that any form of minimizing also causes this, and even if only 1 instance open, minimizing makes the taskbar item like disappear and reappear, which is not normal.

I don't really like this new behavior because if I open documents in a certain order they can become rearranged making it harder to keep track of, so if it was an intentional change, would it be possible to make it optional?

I assume other people are seeing this behavior and its not just me, but I could be wrong.
