Description
Describe the bug
When I open a figure programmatically in VSCode on a mac it's impossible to cmd+tab to it (or cmd + `). The only way to focus the figure is actually clicking on it.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to matlab terminal in VSCode.
- Type figure
- cmd tab out of VScode and back.
- See that the figure isn't what pops up and there is no way other than clicking to focus it.
Useful Information
- OS Version: MaxOS Sonoma 14.5

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior from the MATLAB terminal in VSCode on macOS Sonoma, then inspect the extension's figure-launching and window-focus integration. Done means a programmatically opened figure can be reached with Cmd+Tab or Cmd+` without clicking it.
