A similar problem：

focus() works on ‘loaded’ but fails on ‘restore’ in recent versions

I don’t know why, but, for me:

this.show(); this.focus(); // does not work this.minimize(); this.restore(); this.show(); // does not work this.minimize(); this.restore(); this.show(); this.focus(); // does not work this.show(); this.minimize(); this.restore(); // does not work this.show(); this.minimize(); this.restore(); this.focus(); // does not work this.minimize(); this.restore(); this.show(); this.minimize(); this.restore(); this.focus(); // WORKS! this.minimize(); this.restore(); this.show(); this.minimize(); this.restore(); // WORKS!

I’m on Windows 7 64bit, nw.js 0.12.1.

Same happened to me when spawning a window today using a js file as main entrypoint.

Fixed it with @bagana’s code. Thanks!
