This actually makes sense, although unexpected. Windows 7 doesn't start drawing
immediately for some reason. That's why you have to click. Some fiddling with
the test case should probably fix that. That's irrelevant to the bug.

This is expected. You do expect a window to come forward when you click it.
Although this only happens in virtual desktop mode.
