Download on background page forcing minimize

[cretz]

In my CEF browser, when I ctrl+click a link, it calls OnOpenURLFromTab with WOD_NEW_BACKGROUND_TAB disposition. I start CEF in a background tab/window and start the download, but before it even gets to OnBeforeDownload it has minimized my parent window. This does not happen if I open in the foreground. I could not easily find in the code where the minimize is happening. Is this by intention and is there a workaround?

What OS and CEF version? Are you using the CEF C/C++ API directly or some other language wrapper?

Windows, CEF 3.3112.1656.g9ec3e42 64-bit, C++. Code is at https://github.com/cretz/doogie ...the project has grown a little bit and it passes around events like spaghetti which can be a bit tough to follow, but essentially I CreateBrowserSync on a never-shown window w/ the URL given in OnOpenURLFromTab.
