Icons become program tabs when the program runs (Windows 7)

0

Why do icons in quick launch bar (bottom left) become program tabs when the program runs? I can't just left click on them to open a new instance, I have to right click and search the menu for the option. Why does this happen and how to make icons stay?

I put some screenshots to make it clearer:
