Bumping this up for further investigation.
I don't know if this would also stop you from clicking the game window but if so don't implement it that way, I agree it shouldn't let you open multiple windows of the same thing but there are other options.

1.Figure out how to only block clicking the O&M window instead of the game too, that way if your getting killed you can quickly get back to it & stop from being killed.

2.Make it so another attempt to open it simply focuses on the macros window again instead of opening a totally new window.
