This has a severe negative impact on usability.

I captured a VoIP call and clicked 'Telephony' > 'VoIP Calls'

I selected the call from the list and clicked 'Graph'

There are now three windows open: the main wireshark window, the VoIP calls
list, and the graph of my VoIP call.

I press the minimize button of the graph view, and all three windows minimize.

I click on wireshark in my task bar and only the main window returns. The other
two windows are small title bars in the bottom left of my screen.

I click restore on the VoIP calls window.

Both windows are restored.

Lame.
