Some launched applications open behind focused window

bpmcl commented 6 years ago

OS version and name: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2
Cerebro.app version: 0.3.2
Mac Apps plugin version: 1.0.2
Relevant information from devtools (See above how to open it): N/A

When using Cerebro and the cerebro-mac-apps plugin, some built-in MacOS applications launch behind the previously focused window. This behaviour happens consistently with some applications, and never with others. Performing the same action in Spotlight does not have this effect.

Here is an incomplete list of applications that this happens with:

Activity Monitor
Grab
Messages
Reminders
Stickies
TextEdit

Just realized that I also have this problem with Activity Monitor 🤔 I'll try to find solution, thanks @bpmcl!

We use shell.openExternal from electron. It has boolean activate flag, but it is true by default, so all apps should go to foreground. Weird

cerebroapp / cerebro-mac-apps
