And/Or we could have a button to open a new attribute table window.

I believe that Paolo's concerns are valid, that sometimes you need a 
different filter. Having two filter lines in split view can crowd the 
window and split view on small screens may be difficult to use, thus a 
separate window could be better at times.

Anyway, default to raise the open table sounds reasonable.
