Hi Everyone,

I just found that `other-frame` doesn't work in a PGTK build, which was
built on `fb8276a17c26b4c2bf8281210ede114ff9e24958`. I tried `emacs -Q` and
the problem persisted.

Before I file a bug, I wanted to double-check if this is a known
issue/limitation of PGTK builds

-- 
Best regards
Fred

Are you using Wayland or not?

That's a limitation of the Wayland xdg_shell protocol.  It doesn't allow
programs to activate other toplevels, even their own while they have the
keyboard focus.

Ah, I see.  Thanks for the clarification!
