Receiving orangered while minimized

[McNerdius]

if chrome is minimized and an orangered indicator is received, and clicked on - the URL is navigated to correctly, but is there a way to restore the window's visibility ? clearly the user wants to.

If you look at line 933 of common.js, I have tried to do this.

chrome.tabs.create({'url': 'http://' + reddit.domain + '/message/unread/', 'selected': true});

According to the Chrome Extension API, that should make it be the selected tab in the window. However, I don't think I can make that window get focus if it hasn't already.

selected ( optional boolean )
Whether the tab should become the selected tab in the window. Defaults to true

I'm going to leave this open as a "known issue."

If you want this bug to be fixed, please star the issue on the Chromium bug tracker.

Looks like the chrome bug was fixed, but now it's active instead of selected. I'll need to change the Mostly Harmless code to the new API.
