I have set Trade Orders Window, Trade Positions Window, and Trade Balances Window as 3 different control bar buttons.

Quite often (around 70%< of the time), after I click on the control bar button to summon the Trade Order/Position/Balance window, the window will open briefly for around half a second and then Minimize itself.

This does not happen when I summon the Trade Orders/Position/Balance windows via keyboard shortcut. Only when I open them via the control bar buttons.

What you need to do is open the Trade Orders Window and then go to Window >> Attach/Detach Window to make the main window its parent.
