 Description   

Every time I use the "connect to" feature to select where to connect, Compass appears to reload itself.

To reproduce:

1. Open Compass (wait for loading UI)
2. In menu go to connect -> connect to
3. Wait for loading UI again

As a user of Compass, once it is loaded I expect it to stay loaded and not reload itself for as long as the program is running.

I think I understand what is happening: using "connect to" duplicates the application. While I imagine this is a useful feature, I would also like to be able to replace the active connection/application instance with a connection to another deployment without reloading the application, especially given that connection attempts cannot be aborted (https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/COMPASS-4237).

Yes, you are correct: connect to opens a new window to connect to a new server/cluster.
