Description
Multiple Feature Attributes forms can be opened for the same feature when "Auto open form" is checked and you click multiple times on one feature or if you do View feature form multiple times on an item in Identify Results. This can be confusing when many such forms are opened, and it can lead to loss of data when editing a layer.
Examples: which form for a given feature was changed? or make changes in different forms of a given feature -- which one wins?.
As the form windows are top-level windows they may be obscured by the QGIS main window which can be even more confusing. There is a clue that forms are still open as the highlight is drawn one for each form. And the windows are shown in the task bar as well.
I believe the Features Attributes form should be application modal, or at the very least, create only one window per feature and then put focus on that window on subsequent clicking on a feature.
This is somewhat related to #13465
