[🐛 Bug]: CEF browser is not activating while switching to new window

[fayizkc]

What happened?

When I switching to new window of my CEF browser by using driver.switchTo().window(winHandle); switched window is running in the background. I tried with Action click, Javascript "window.focus();" method, but still no luck.

How can we reproduce the issue?

//Tried switching with below code,
driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.tagName("body"))).click().perform();
//or
JavascriptExecutor jsExecutor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
jsExecutor.executeScript("window.focus();");

Relevant log output

First opened window is showing active until we close the driver
