[OSX] Game Window disappears when switching to another application when using multiple monitors

Themes

-

To reproduce:

1. Open Unity, create a new project and open it
2. Have Unity Editor on the main monitor and set Game Window on the second monitor
3. Open new application on the main monitor (for example Safari)

Expected Result: The Game Window will not disappear on the second monitor.
Actual Result: The Game Window will disappear on the second monitor. When you switch back, it re-appears.

Notes:
- This issue appears only on OSX
- For User, this makes it difficult to do partial screen captures as the Game Window disappears when using screen capture software

Reproduced on Unity 2017.3.0p3, 2017.3.1p1, 2018.1.0b6 and 2018.2.0a1
Not reproduced on Unity 2017.3.0p2

    Can we have this fixed, please? It's one of the most (if not the most) annoying bug with Unity I had in a long time. I also hope is included in LTS

    - Issue Present in Unity 2017.3.1f1
    - This issue disrupts dramatically the work flow of many Devs! (It is always needed to work hand by hand with other applications even for a simple task such as dragging files)

    It is really annoying.

    - Seen in Unity 2017.3.1f1
    - The problem affects any detached window from the "main editor window" and it happens in a single monitor as well.
