Espressif-IDE: Welcome tab overlays everything (IEP-1268)

[jonesman]

Describe the bug
On my first start of the Espressif IDE, it shows a sort of "Welcome" tab or window. This window overlays any other display element that might open.
So when I go to do the first setup step, open "ESP-IDF Manager", nothing happens. It actually shows up in the background, behind the welcome screen. But especially as a first-time Eclipse user, I don't know that. So I assume immediately something is broken.
I understand the welcome screen is important, and that you can't change Eclipse behaviour, but maybe mention this in the docs ? It caused me major confusion and some lost time of course.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Start with a fresh install of Espressif IDE, or remove the Workspace folder

Expected behavior
For the "ESP-IDF Manager" to show up
