Bug Description

Steps to reporduce:
1) Open a browser (e.g. Chrome)
2) Open any other application and make sure it's in the foreground.
3) Open a terminal and run: xdg-open "https://google.com"

Expected:
Your browser should be brought to foreground with the Google website open

Actual:
Your browser stays in the background with the Google website open.
The browser icon in the Launcher Bar will animate (indicating that some trigger has been made).
Only after actively clicking on the browser icon in the Launcher Bar will the browser move to foreground.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.
