seeing different behavior between PC vs MAC when opening active tabs in minimized windows

[Gilad Spitzer]

When opening a minimized window via chrome.windows.create and then creating subsequent tabs via chrome.tabs.create and assigning them to that minimized window --> when the tab is created with active: true, on Mac the window stays minimized while on PC the window gets maximized.

Is there a way to change the active state of a tab (activate it) in a minimized on PC without maximizing the window?

Assuming there's no hidden mistake in your code this definitely sounds like a bug, see it's reported in crbug.com or report otherwise.

A possible workaround may be to create the tab without `active` and then set it via chrome.tabs.update.
