When I go to launch a new Mousepad, it gets stuffed in a currently running Mousepad window rather than a new image.

Where is the behavior controlled? I tend to have a dozen Mousepads open with some work I am doing noted (like openSSL work). F38 Xfce did it right. F41 is not and I don't see where this is controlled.
I tried launching a new Firefox instance and than created a new window rather than a new tab in the then current window. So some apps get this as I want....
