One Adobe Acrobat file with two taskbar items

I use 3 screens in Windows 11.

 

I've set up the taskbar so that, "When using multiple displays, show my taskbar apps on Main taskbar and taskbar where window is open."

 

When I open a single pdf file in Adobe Acrobat Pro (64-bit), and it's on one of the side displays (NOT the main display), Adobe displays TWO taskbar icons.  They both show the same file name (the only one I have open).  When I move it to the main display, Adobe only displays ONE taskbar icon.

 

This seems like a glitch.  Any idea how to fix it, without changing the way I use Windows 11?

 

I'm sure a lot of people will say "combine taskbar items" but I don't want to do that - I like my taskbar items separated.  And they shouldn't need to be combined - it's only one file open.  No other program I use does this, and even Adobe doesn't do it when I move the window to the main display.

 

Here's a screenclip:

Two taskbar items for only one file.png

 

To clarify: I'm looking for a fix to this glitch, NOT a suggestion that I change how I work in Windows 11.

 

Thanks for any advice from others who have experienced this same problem.

Hi,

 

Best plan would be to upvote a bug/issue if there is one or create one if there isn't.

Its the fifth one down for me... the mroe votes the more likely they are to fix this nonsense. I just upgraded my Windows and didnt have this issue with my old version, yet my taskbar settings were the same.
