On my copy of GnuCash, I control-click on any of the tab in the row of 
tabs at the top of the GnuCash window. A menu pops down, listing all the 
open tabs. I select the tab I want. GnuCash moves to that tab and 
displays its contents.

I am using GnuCash 4.14-1 on macOS Monterey 12.7.1. If you are using 
Windows or Linux, and have a two-button mouse, the right mouse button 
might be what you need to click with.

See also the /GnuCash Guide/, section 2.3.5 Tab Bar 
<https://cvs.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/basics-interface1.html>. 
This mentions the menu (a "list of tabs").

Does this help?
