How do I customise file folder settings on Sonoma 14.5 iMac update?

With the Sonoma 14.5 Mac update, every time I have a file folder open on my desktop, then open up another file folder, the first one closes (minimizes) off to the side of the screen. It's annoying and I want it to stop, please. Same happens when I have a file folder open, click on the desktop to create another file folder. The first one closes (minimizes) on to a bar on the side. I can see it and reopen it, but dang it, it's one more step. I want the file folders to stay open until I close them. Thank you if you can help.

It works normally to open an existing folder on my desktop when right clicking. The window opens on top of any other folders that are open and the browser window. When everything minimizes is when I click on the desktop to select the desktop itself. That's when I get a gray opaque frame around my screen and the folders and browsers minimize into the sidebar area. If I select the desktop to create a new folder, then everything I have open minimizes.
