But that's still a corner case. Turn it this way, if you have to
choose between the two possibilities:

a. Obscure the focused terminal where you are entering data with the
output window (unfocused)

b. Keep the focused window above the unfocused window, so you can see
the data you enter

What is the most sensitive choice? What do you think the vast majority
of users would expect?

Cheers,
Olivier.
