I create a window with function

chrome.windows.create({
    focused: false
})

but the new window is always focused and go on top so is it a bug or I missing something?

Thanks

It still is a problem on Windows. It is not a problem on my Mac.

On Windows, the work-around of superpan3000 himself works for me, for which I'm grateful!

I'm referring to the solution

function createWinSucceed(window) {
  var id = window.id;
  chrome.windows.update(id, { focused: false });
};

BTW When re-using the created window, no more flashing will occur.

Can you try again with Today's canary build? The build may have been in a broken state for a few days with a recent checkin, but the developer told me it should be working now.

Thank LarryLee, I tried as you suggest but it doesn't work 

chrome.windows.create({
        focused: false
    }, function(window){
    chrome.windows.update(window.id, { focused: false })
})

still I changed to

chrome.windows.create({
        focused: **true**
    }, function(window){
    chrome.windows.update(window.id, { focused: false })
})

It works but it makes a flash when window creating and lose focus. Sometime it takes my focus on current working window and makes the computer slowly. I think it's not a good solution. Thanks

Have you tried like this as the callback of creating window? But it seems that the new created window will still show and hide soon with this method.

function createWinSucceed(window) {
  var id = window.id;
  chrome.windows.update(id, { focused: false });
};
