1. Open an editor.
2. Window > New Window
3. Ctrl+Shift+E > Show editors from all windows
4. Select the other editor > Activate Selected Editor
5. The second window is brought to top but not activated.

You must _not_ be Alt+Tabbing around while performing the five steps.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
