focus() works on 'loaded' but fails on 'restore' in recent versions

[gihrig]

Mac OS X 10.10.2
Seems related to #2724
Works as expected in 0.11.3
Works as expected in 0.11.4
Fails in 0.11.5
Fails in 0.11.6
Fails in 0.12.0-alpha2

Not tested on Windows or Linux

The nw.js app registers a global shortcut that shows and hides the app window.

When the nw.js application loads, the window has the focus. A form field, auto-focused in the child html receives key strokes.

Pressing the global shortcut, minimizes the window.
Pressing the global shortcut again restores the window.
If another application window acquires focus while the nw.js app was minimized, the restored nw.js app window does not receive focus.

    // Listen for shortcut's active event.
    shortcut.on('active', function () {
        //toggle application window visibility
        if (isVisible) {
            win.minimize();
        } else {
            win.restore();
        }
    });

    // Open and focus application window with appServer content
    win.window.location = appServer;
    win.on('loaded', function () {
        win.show();
        win.focus(); // <-- Works as expected
        isVisible = true;
    });
    win.on('restore', function () {
        win.focus(); // <-- Does not focus window in 0.11.5+
        isVisible = true;
    });

    win.on('minimize', function () {
        isVisible = false;
    });
