[mac triage] I can't repro this in 54.0.2806.0. Is it fixed for you? Could you add a screencast?

This one is only accessible by Googlers for privacy consideration (desktop screencast involves many unexpected captures). If anyone is interested to watch this, please let me know.
About half of window focus changes are unintentional.
Noticeable ones happen after 00:39~.

Does it still reproduce if you temporarily disable everything in chrome://extensions?

I tried to repro again with a bunch of extra windows and more tabs. Only one window gets focused (the previously focused one, e.g., the one I typed chrome://restart into)

no sheriffbot, this still needs Feedback.
Can you suggest a good way to do this with all extensions turned off?

Comment 8 by tapted@chromium.org, Jul 26 2016

Going into chrome://extensions/ and unchecking all the `Enabled` boxes should be enough. Then, e.g., type chrome://restart in the location bar.
I see this every time I launch Chrome in the morning, and it's been happening for at least six months, so it's not a recent regression.  I've got two profiles loading 10-20 tabs each, and the symptom is that my "work" window keeps stealing focus as tabs restore.

I can also try disabling extensions, but some extensions are forcibly enabled, so I won't be able to turn those off.

Summary: On session restore, Mac switches focuses between windows in different profiles as they load. (was: Mac focuses on Chrome window every time it finish loading a tab (-ish))
Ah, yep - it does seem to be a multi-profile thing.

I can repro reliably if I have windows in different profiles being restored. Extensions don't seem to influence it.

Perhaps elly is interested - maybe you have some state around session restore for the spaces work (Issue 74812).
Indeed, multiple profile is causing this. Sorry that I missed it.
