Hello,

So this is a long term bug on Windows. It's not a functional bug, more like 
a UX bug. I hoped others would notice and it'd get fixed but since it's 
been 5+ years (or forever?) I might as well report it.

Basically, sometimes, when I want to do a commit on a folder. (Right Click 
on folder -> SVN Commit...) and then press OK to commit, the resulting 
"Commit Finished!" window is getting hidden behind the Windows Explorer 
window (the parent folder that's open where I had just right-clicked on the 
folder that I am committing). This is annoying because then I have to go to 
the task bar to click on the TortoiseSVN window icon to open it and then 
close it.

This doesn't always happen. Basically it happens the first commit, but then 
if I commit a bunch more time within 15 minutes or so, then all those times 
it won't do this bug and the Commit Finished! window displays normally 
above all other Windows. However if I haven't committed anything or 
interacted with TortoiseSVN for a while, then the first commit will have 
this UX bug again, consistently. I think something happens where the 
Explorer takes Z depth priority over the TortoiseSVN for some reason, maybe 
because of some background refresh or something, I don't know.

In short, the "Commit Finished!" should always appear and make sure to be 
above all other Windows including Explorer when it spawns and not get 
spawned behind Explorer.

Technically I'm guessing the previous "Commit" window of TortoiseSVN should 
hand over foreground priority to the "Commit Finished!" window using 
SetForegroundWindow() or BringWindowToTop() WinAPI or something else.

Thanks!
