New window stays in background when created through macOS dock

[garyemerson]

Description

A new sublime window created through the dock context menu stays in the background instead of being brought to the foreground.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Sublime Text in safe mode
2. Open a different application and bring its window to the foreground
3. Create a new sublime window via the dock context menu
4. Observe the sublime window in the background and the current application is not sublime but instead the previously opened application.

Expected behavior

Creating a new window brings that window to the foreground and makes sublime the active application (as seen in the menu bar). This is consistent with other applications like chrome (see video example below) and safari.

Actual behavior

See step 4

Environment

• Build: 4119
• Operating system and version: macOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559)

@garyemerson Can you reproduce this on latest dev (4120) or the latest stable (4121). The bug reports are always reported for the latest dev/stable and previous versions don't matter.

[garyemerson]

Yeah, sure thing. Just updated to build 4120 and can confirm I'm still able to reproduce.
