Windows dialogs appear minimized

[grount]

There are some OS's which it shows on top but in some cases, the dialog appears minimized.

I don't understand this - windows is my main platform and I've never seen a dialog appear minimised. Can you elaborate?

I'm experiencing this too. Interestingly it only occurs the first time that I run an executable after compiling. But not the second or third time, etc.

I can reliably reproduce it by making small changes to my script (e.g. adding comments), recompiling, and then running.

Is your code public? If not, what sort of dialog are you spawning? Does your program use other GUI elements?

Hmm, strangely enough I am no longer able to reproduce it. But here is the minimal example I was able to narrow it down to yesterday:

package main

import "github.com/sqweek/dialog"

func main() {
	filename, _ := dialog.File().Load()
	_ = filename // silence unused variable error
}

I'm using Go version go1.11.5 windows/amd64, and compiling and running from a msys2 terminal.
