Xpipe foreground issue

[Ehsan-U]

Thanks for such an amazing tool, i came across an issue on Xpipe 18.3 (Windows 11), the application sometimes does not come to the foreground when clicked from the taskbar.

Details:

• Xpipe continues running normally in the background (no hangs or crashes).
• The issue occurs intermittently when switching between applications.
• To bring Xpipe to the front, I have to manually minimize other windows.

so I quickly tried to reproduce this but was not successful.

If you manage to figure out how to easily reproduce this, then this would be easier to debug.

Did you use a docked terminal in the file browser before when this happened? That is the only part that comes to my mind that changes the z-order of Windows.

So I found a bug related to the window handling, but I'm not sure whether this was the cause. You can try out v18.4 and see if it still happens
