 Description   

It's not clear what the effect of the "Window" > "Bring All to Front" function. Tested with 2 Compass connections to 2 separate databases on the same host. Should this menu option exist?

There is no indication or error message in View > Toggle DevTools.

I was not able to locate any online documentation about this feature in Compass DOCS.

This is the default behavior of electron and it works as designed. One example to see how this works is the following:

  • open 2 Compass windows, one on your first and one of your second screen.
  • keep the one on one screen on top, while on the other screen focus on another application that will therefore cover the compass window.
  • switch back on the first screen, focus on compass and click on bring all to front: you will see that the compass window on the second screen will also be brought to front.

Admittedly, not necessarily the most useful piece of functionality but I would not spend time disabling or documenting it. Also, it's a quite common functionality (e.g. Safari, Brave, iTerm and more all have it).
