Yes, this is definitely a bug. The Window Manager (actually the CoreGraphics window server) is supposed to layer a newly visible window behind the active window of the active app, not in front. The bug is actually not in the application that is showing the window, but in the active application; somehow its active window is not being properly recorded and passed to the window server.

If you, or David, can reliable reproduce this problem, please file bugs and send me the bug numbers. We need repro cases to determine why the active window isn't being properly recorded.

It took me some time to figure out the exact conditions that cause the problem, because when I built a test app of course the problem first did not appear. But in the end I figured it out and build a test app and filed a bug. See bug: 4575443. The problem only occurs when the background app has a visible utility window. I guess that confuses the window ordering.

Cheers,

david.
