Unhide QT window doesn’t work when hidden with ⌘ + H #13829

   Noticed this while reviewing #13529, but it’s also in master @ 5ba77df. On macOS 10.13.6:

   • Show in the action menu doesn’t work if the app was hidden by Command + H, it does work when hidden through this menu
   • send and receive don’t unhide the window when opened for the action menu. It does navigate to the right tab. The other actions do work (sign, verify & debug window)

   Clicking “Toon” (= macOS native show) does work, suggesting the GUI uses some non-native method of hiding.

   I’m not familiar with Mac, but it might be related to #13606

   I can confirm that the action menu “show” doesn’t work when hided with Command + H.

   When hided with the action menu, “send” and “receive” do show the window, but not when used Command + H.

   Fix welcome.

   For me works with Qt 5.11.1 and macOS 10.13.3 at 6c7cfc8da. @Sjors @jonasschnelli which Qt you used?

   I also confirm this with Qt 5.11.1 and macOS 10.13.3.

   For me “send” and “receive” never show the window.

   Fix welcome.

   I take this.

   Similar problems #5880 and #2530.

   Here are more tests. OS X 10.11.6 (15G22010) + 0.17.0 (Qt 5.9.6)

   Step 1: Dock menu “Hide”

   … some variants of… Step 2: Dock menu “Show” - works as expected: shows main window and brings it to the front.

   Step 2: Dock menu “Send” or “Receive” - does not work: does not show main window at all.

   Step 2: Dock menu “Sign message…” or “Verify message…” - works with some issues: (a) shows main window, (b) shows “sign/verify” window, (c) does not bring any of mentioned windows to the front, (d) makes app icon bounce continuously :) , (e) many items of the Dock menu get greyed.

   Step 2: Dock menu “Debug window” - works as expected: shows both main window and debug window, and brings the latter to the front.

   Moreover, using Command-H or “Hide Bitcoin Core” from the app menu in the Step 1 does not change behaviour.

   UPDATE: also tested on macOS 10.13.6 (17G65) + 0.17.0 (Qt 5.9.6) Results are the same.

    @fanquake, @jonasschnelli should this issue be labeled “macOS”?
