[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45943] commands shg and figure(N) (where figure N exists) fail to bring figure window to foreground

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #45943 (project octave):

This issue has been known about for a very long time.  The problem is that
different window managers use different procedures for bringing a window to
the top of the stack.  Octave has traditionally had a lot of potential
backends such as gnuplot, FLTK, and Qt.

Now that Octave is fairly well committed to Qt/OpenGL someone could troll
through the Qt API and see if there is a function call to make a window
visible.  The next step would probably be to write a C++ function to call the
Qt function, and this C++ function would be called by shg.m
