Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3013.3 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: Open a link from some workspace (using XMonad/i3 or some other EWMH window manager) while chrome is in another workspace. Alternatively, use https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/windows#method-update sending (windowId, {"focused": true}) What is the expected behavior? Chrome (and the workspace that contains it) should have the focus of the window manager. This would be accomplished most easily (and in a way that allows user configurability) by setting the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property from EWMH See https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#idm140200472702304 What went wrong? Chrome does not set _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW as far as I can tell. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 58.0.3013.3 Channel: dev OS Version: 4.9 (Arch Linux) Flash Version:
