Subject: epiphany-browser: Opening a new tab doesn't raise the window in XWayland

Date: Tue, 22 May 2018 05:25:25 +0200

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 3.28.1-1+b1
Severity: normal

Gnome Web doesn't raise the window to the top when clicking a link in another
application that causes it to open a new tab instead of a new window.

This behavior is inconsistent with the way it behaves when Web is closed. When
Web is closed the clicked link will be opened in the foreground.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gnome-web with any webpage
2. Open evolution and click on a link in an email message

Observed behavior:
The link opens in the background in a new tab

Expected behavior:
gnome-web should raise to the top of the window stack to display the newly
opened link
