If it is the latter, then openbox is probably preventing the original process from stealing focus / raising on top of the currently focused window.

Apologies to all for the late reply.

I just checked and that is the case - when an application opens a new
window in the same process, the windows is not focused.

I guess this is a bug? Should it be reported?

Opinions please!
