Expected Behavior

• The app opens a child window using window.open method (nativeWindowOpen is set to true).
• User clicks on a button that is supposed to bring the previously opened window to front. The app calls win.focus() on a said child window object.
• The child window should appear above the main window.

Actual Behavior

Nothing happens when win.focus() is called.

Additional Information

When running (almost) the same code as a web app (in Chrome), the focus method brings the window to the top.

There was a similar issue reported a few years back:
#2867

If I'm not mistaken, the linked issue was more about calling BrowserWindow::focus() (on the Electron side), not win.focus() on the browser side. This looks like a dupe of this
