Description
What version of Racket are you using?
8.5 [cs]
What program did you run?
- Ensure some application other than DrRacket is open.
- Start DrRacket.
- File→Open. The file dialog is now focussed.
- Press Alt+Tab. Another application is now focussed.
- Press Alt+Tab. DrRacket is focussed, but the main window, not the file dialog.
What should have happened?
In Step 5, the file dialog should be focussed. If I repeat the steps above with GEdit instead of DrRacket, I get the expected behaviour.
Please include any other relevant details
e.g., the operating system used or how you are running the code.
I am using Racket from the PPA on Ubuntu GNOME 22.04.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Ubuntu GNOME 22.04 with Racket 8.5 [cs], following the reported File→Open and Alt+Tab steps. Inspect the DrRacket file-dialog focus handling; done means returning to DrRacket restores focus to the file dialog rather than the main window.
