If an AI doc is opened, every other AI document pops up
Mac desktop 11.2.2, AI 25.2. Opening a new AI document, or even just selecting AI, causes documents I've minimized to the Dock to pop up. That's annoying, I minimized them because I want them available but only when I want them. Please give us an option to stop this behavior.

Every time I open or create a new document, every other Illustrator doc that has been reduced to the Mac dock pops up. That's really annoying. They're in the dock for a reason, because they're not needed while I'm working on the new doc. Can we change it so that docs reduced to the dock stay there until called upon?

Dang, I have the same problem I just got used to it. I really hate this as well. I usually keep one project window open that's open but pushed mostly off screen to act as a buffer. But only illustrator does this. Highly annoying.

Let's say that I have illustrator with one document already opened and minimised in dock.
When I open another .ai file fron Finder, the minimised document shows up also before opening the document intended to open.
That's really frustrating, as, if I decided to minimised a document, that means that I wanted it there for later or ocasionally use, and want it to stay minimised until another decision I made. It happend a lot of times to switch between opened .ai and Finder below, and I don't need another document to be opened behind the working one, If I minimised it on purpose.
