Project Member Reported by warx@chromium.org, May 5 2017

Issue description

tot Chrome OS with patch: https://codereview.chromium.org/2859333003/
windows/linux/macosx are M58:

operation a: open a browser A, type shell in location bar and enter, minimize browser A.

                    operation a               operation b
chrome os:          browser A activated       browser A activated

windows:            browser A minimized       browser A activated

linux:              browser A minimized       browser B activated

macosx:             browser A activated       browser A activated


Let us first determine the broken places (or are they all WAI?) and then assign to the right owner.

Tim, could you triage this?
I don't see any reason why we should activate A in either case. Switching windows is similar to switching tabs and we don't do it in that case. Does anyone else have opinions here?
The Mac OS X case is really weird: the browser activates, but it's like it's a fake activation. The toolbar stays greyed out and the window stays in the minimised portion of the dock; you can't really interact with the window at all. Clicking on the window in the dock makes it run the maximise animation and then it's usable again.

I agree that having the window activate when it's minimised on a prompt is strange behaviour. I think I feel the same for when I have a prompt come up in an unmaximised but non-active browser window.

Re-tested on all platforms and everything seems fine now, nothing takes focus (see link in previous comment).
