Dragging a tab over a hidden chrome window makes the hidden window pop to foreground

Project Member Reported by gab@chromium.org, Mar 12 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: 67.0.3368.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)
OS: Windows

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Two chrome windows with a few tabs each
(2) Put the second window on a second screen (2nd screen not required but easier to describe use case)
(3) Have a third-party program maximized over the first chrome window on the first screen.
(4) Drag a tab from the 2nd screen to the first screen

What is the expected result?
It creates a new foreground window with a single tab on screen #1

What happens instead?
It finds the invisible window when dragging over it and attaches the tab to it.


This has been annoying me for a while and I just heard there's code to prevent that, but it clearly doesn't work on Windows... Maybe the ongoing occlusion work on Windows will solve this :)?
