When InDesign is not in focus, panels become invisible... fix?

Greetings Community!

POV: When I focus in an app outside of InDeisgn, all the panels and tool bars become invisible. I understand that this behaviour could be useful, but for my workflow it is hindersome. I often do layout of articles in InDesign and am copying text from other files. So e.g. when I am copying text from a Word file (on my external screen), all the panels and toolbars in InDesign become invisible. I first have to click back into InDesign to focus there and then all panels and toolbars re-appear.
It would be so much better for me if all panels a toolbars remained visible so that I can directly click on the needed tool or see which tool is selected, without first having to click to focus, and needing to be careful where I click. Is there a setting I can change?
I work on a new Macbook Air, M2, 24GB memory and INDD is the most recent version.

Before this Mac, I worked on an Asus machine and panels and toolbars remained visible even when INDD was not in focus.

Thank you in advance!
