[texworks] Newly selected preview window does not automatically gain focus

[Philip Taylor (RHBNC)]

This may also have been true for the previous version, but this report is specifically for the current version (see version information below).

  1.  Let there be two source files open, A.tex and B.tex, and let there similarly be two preview windows open shewing A.pdf and B.pdf.
  2.  Let both A.tex and B.tex be displayed in the left half of the screen
  3.  Let A.pdf be displayed in the right half of the screen and B.pdf be displayed in the left half
  4.  Let B.tex have focus, and let there be pending (unsaved) changes thereto.
  5.  From B.tex's menu, select Window / B.pdf
  6.  Use Windows / right-arrow to attempt to move B.pdf to the right-hand half of the screen

Result: B.pdf does not move but B.tex does (the opposite of what was intended).

This would appear to be a result of Window / B.pdf revealing B.pdf but not giving it focus.
