PS 26.8.0 opened photos don't come to foreground, don't take focus.

Question

Macbook Pro M1 Max, Apple Sequoia 15.1, PS 26.8.0

I just upgraded to PS 26.8.0. Now when I double click to open a photo, it remains in the background, covered by other windows. Why are my images not coming to the foreground when I open them? Is there a new setting I'm missing in PS 26.8.0?

Now every single time I open an image, I have to then click on that image once it's open for it to take focus. If it's completely hidden behind another window, I have to then close or move that window to see the image. The PS application itself takes focus as all the menus appear, but the image I double click to open remains behind whatever images and apps are opened.

Are you using the application frame? Reset your preferences - see if that works.

I have the same problem, but setting the application frame does not help. If I try to move any Adobe window it is instantly placed into the back of other windows. I would appreciate help.
