Describe the bug
If you open GTKWave and the workspace is in monocle mode, then doing File --> Open New Tab puts the file picker in the background. I tried adding a float rule for the file picker based on the title and class but that seemed to have no effect. You can download GTKWave here using the gtkwave-3.3.100-bin-win64 download.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Launch GTKWave
Set the workspace to monocle mode
File --> Open New Tab launches file picker but it's hidden (in the background)

Expected behavior

File picker should float to the top.
