The default activation mode is to only activate only when no other app is active, after first deactivating the launching application. This is true for the new `activate` method as well as the existing `activateWithOptions` method. `[NSApp activate]` is equivalent to `[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:NO]`. The `activateIgnoringOtherApps` method says this: > By default, activation deactivates the calling app (assuming it was active), > and then the new app is activated only if there’s no currently active > application. This prevents the new app from stealing focus from the user, if > the app is slow to activate and the user has switched to a different app in > the interim.

Let's continue looking into this in the context of [JDK-8348878](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8348878). ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1685#discussion_r1932918326
