Also on task bar additional UE windows don’t show. It’s as if it treats whole editor as one window.

The issue was not fixed in version 5.8.1. It also affects AnimNotifies; they cannot be moved correctly. It’s a nightmare. However, the problem only affects the Wayland session; no issues were found on X11.
