Marking Chrome as default browser opens up dialog in background on MacOS 10.12.2

Project Member Reported by k...@chromium.org, Dec 15 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version: 55.0.2883.95
OS: macOS 10.12.2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) From new installation of MacOS, install Chrome
(2) Mark "Set Chrome as default browser" in onboarding
(3) *see no dialog, but realize chrome is not default browser
(4) Go to Settings
(5) Press "Make Google Chrome the default browser"

What is the expected result?

I see the dialog asking to confirm the change to change defaults.

What happens instead?

Nothing visible appears (see video). However, if I move the screen, it turns it out it opened in the background.

Note: I was unable to reproduce this problem on my other Mac laptop (which is running macOS 10.12.1)

Summary: Marking Chrome as default browser opens up dialog in background on MacOS 10.12.2 (was: Marking Chrome as default browser opens up dialog in background on MacOS)
Looks like with 10.12.2, the default browser modal pops under. cc'ing some mac UI folks, is there any change we can make to get it to pop over as in earlier versions?

I don't think there's anything we can do, actually.

This looks like a bug in macOS that Apple will need to fix to restore the previous behavior.

Safari is also doing the same issue.
We should file a radar. Can someone do that?
