Opening new tabs while another Chromium window is full-screened switches focus to the full-screened window

[Feathertail]

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

PROBLEM

Opening new tabs by middle-clicking a link, while another Chromium window is full-screened, switches focus to the full-screened window for no apparent reason.

HOW TO REPRODUCE

1. Open two separate Chromium windows.
2. Full-screen one of them.
3. Middle-click on a link in the Chromium window that is not full-screened, so as to open it.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Having one Chromium window full-screened won't break normal behavior in other windows.
