After opening a project in KiCad manager, double-clicking on the Eeschema or Pcbnew icons in the tree view launches the schematic or PCB tool, as expected. However, the just-launched tool briefly flashes on screen then KiCad manager gets focus again. It seems intuitive to me that the schematic or PCB is given focus, since the user has just performed an action that indicates they want to use the respective tool.
While not a bug per se, this seems unintuitive to me so I want to flag this so the great developers of KiCad can ensure the desired behavior is occurring.
I'm using Windows 10 Home versions 1511.

In Win7 and 8.1 that doesn't happen. When I click kicad_pcb on left tree view, pcb_new fires up for a second, then KiCad launcher comes into foreground (partially covers pcb_new), launcher gets focus, and pcb_new is shown underneath..no focus-warning blinking.
Is it Win10 specific?
