Safari browser window greyed out

When I have multiple safari windows open a weird issue began 1-2 months back. Here's what happens.

I open one browser window on the left of my monitor. I then open another browser window for that same page, but on the right side of my monitor. This way I can have two browser windows open for efficiency. But what happens when I open the additional window is that the left window goes dark. Then when I click the left window, the right goes dark. And when I close either both windows close.

This wasn't happening until some recent updates. Do you know what's happening and how I can ensure the prior behavior happens?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.6

Hello skiracer65,

Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. This definitely doesn't sound normal. There re a few things we can try to rule out some possibilities.

First let's test in safe mode. This will rule out any third party apps, plugins, or extensions as the cause. To test in safe mode follow these steps: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

Next, try the same process in a test user. This will tell us if the issue is user specific or system wide. Here is how: Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

Let us know the results or if starting to safe mode resolves the issue after logging back in normally.

Cheers!
