So if you cloned "unit1" from window-1 to window-2, then it is open

That's okay so far but, as you see, it can lead to confusion. I've
just added another (lengthy) note to issue 19666, that explains what
I consider *desired* behaviour instead:
The Clone menu should allow to simply *activate* an already existing
*or* newly created clone. Currently it can be very time consuming to
scroll through the tabs of the target window, shifting one by one,
until an already existing clone is found there.
I already suggested an pagewise scroll through the tabs, instead of
shifting one by one, but this idea was rejected a long time ago...
The display disabled menu entry, instead of display none makes sense.
Jumping to the same source, in an other window, is an interesting
feature, but should not be unde "move/clone" menu, (imho it would lead
to confusion there).
There could be a sub menu "find in other window"; though that leads to
more menu entries in the main popup, and the popup is already very big.
An other option would be, 2 have several sections in the sub menu.
"Clone to Window" (Submenu)
"Clone to new window"
-----
"Clone to window 1"
"Clone to window 3"
-----
"Goto to window 2 (existing clone)"
