Unconfirmed
I'm not sure when this changed as I've not been active on Minecraft over the last few months but I can no longer open two launchers, even if on the first I log into (configuring it not to keep the launcher active during the game).
This is an important requirement as a server admin and plugin dev I have multiple accounts so I can test and debug issues. Currently I either have to exit the game which is not always suitable as I need both accounts online at the same time, or I'll have to look for an alterative launcher.
If I attempt to start two instances of the launcher I get the following log:

It looks like "Reopen event triggered!" is to point of interest and I see that if I log into the game (without keeping the launcher active) and then attempt to start the launcher again.
