All brave windows get brought to the front when a tab from unfocused/inactive brave window clicked

Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. open two brave windows
  2. open another app like Notes
  3. click on brave window 1 to focus then click on the other opened app like Notes
  4. click a tab from brave window 2
  5. notice how both of the brave windows are brought to the front and the Notes app is completely hidden.

Expected result:
i expect only brave window 2 should be focused when the tab on it is clicked and the Notes app should also still be in front and visible.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.77.97 Chromium: 135.0.7049.84 (Official Build) (arm64)

Additional Information:
Couldn’t upload a video to repro bc of “Sorry, new users can not upload attachments.”

my use case is that I’ll have two different brave windows open on 1 monitor while i have the Notes app opened on the other monitor in addition to a third brave window opened on this monitor with the Notes app. I usually go between the Notes app and window 1 or 2 depending on which tab i’m viewing and when i do that, the Notes app will get sent to the back because all of the brave windows get brought to the front.

@tommy I’ve gone ahead and updated your user level and you should now be able to share screenshots/upload videos if you’d like to share a recording of the behavior. That said, I do not see this on my end, unless I am performing these steps incorrectly:

ohh i think I know why you can’t repro. try clicking the tab itself instead of the window/page. I’ve uploaded a recording here:
