Window/tab focus should change when asking question and WP window is already open #5

From @jonasreitz:

when asking a second question in the same webwork session, the focus doesn’t shift from the WeBWorK tab to the (already open) OpenLab tab in the background

I'm pretty sure there's nothing I can do on the WP end to make this happen - it's default browser behavior that would have to be overridden by WeBWorK - but I'll double check.

Another possible workaround is to have all requests go to a unique WP URL - for example, by appending a timestamp. I think this would cause the browser not to reuse the existing WP window/tab. But this is something that's only achievable through a WeBWorK modification. I'll mull it over.

I am gonna move this out of the fall milestone, since it seems like we can't really move forward on it
