Description
It is impossible to silently start a window (for example a overlay indicator) without disturbing main window while in fullscreen mode on macos.
Reproduce Steps
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open example
- Click system fullscreen mode button on main window (green one)
- spawn window
- Screen jumps to another window
I tried many different options using window manager and multi window without success (dont focus etc)
There should be a way to spawn window
- Flutter 3.32
- OS: macos
- plugin: desktop_multi_window 0.3.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the fullscreen and window-spawn sequence in the desktop_multi_window plugin on macOS, then inspect its macOS window-creation path. Done means spawning a new window without moving focus away from the fullscreen main window; verify the behavior with the reproduction steps and Flutter 3.32.
