Tray context menu doesn't pop up if a fullscreen application is focused

[InventivetalentDev]

• Electron version: 1.8.6, 3.1.0
• Operating system: Windows 10

Expected behavior

I expect the tray context menu to open when I right-click it.

Actual behavior

When there's a fullscreen app running and focused (behind the taskbar), nothing happens when right-clicking the tray icon.

How to reproduce

• Start the program
• Right-click the tray while on desktop/with a non-fullscreen app - works fine
• Open a fullscreen app
  • I discovered it while playing Guild Wars 2, but it also occurs on any other fullscreen application, e.g. Google Chrome (F11)
• Press the Windows key to bring up the taskbar
• Try right-clicking the tray icon again - nothing happens

(I also tried it on another computer (also Win 10), just to make sure it's not a quirk with my dev pc.)

EDIT: I noticed the same issue with Discord, which is also built with electron.

You can use the repo below to see for yourself:

I made a gif showing that the context menu doesn't show up when you click the tray icon while it does show when the tray icon is in the overflow menu.
Electron version: 6.0.1
