Progress Bar disappears when switching applications on a second monitor with Cmd-Tab

Unity: Editor Progress Bar Window

Won't Fix

6.2.X

This behavior currently exists to prevent Unity from forcing itself to the foreground when a progress operation is started, since this can happen even when Unity is in the background. The intention is that the dock icon's progress circle fills the role when Unity is in the background. This is behavior we would like to revisit in the future.

How to reproduce:
1. Create and run a process that will show the EditorUtility.DisplayProgressBar()
2. On a second monitor, use Cmd-Tab to switch programs
3. Observe the result

Expected result: The Progress Bar remains visible
Actual result: The Progress Bar disappears

Reproducible with: 6000.2.6f1

Reproduced on: macOS 15 (M1) (user reported)
Not reproduced on: macOS 26 (M1), Windows 11

Notes:

Not reproduced by CQA after testing macOS 26 (M1) and Windows 11
When switching back to the original program with Cmd-Tab, the Progress Bar reappears
