    3. Select iTerm2 > About from menu
    4. hotkey window is displayed in front of about window, and makes it hard to access.
    5. Window > Previous or Next Terminal menus (cmd-) briefly raise the About window, then hotkey deactivates and restores focus to some other app, probably hiding the About window again.
    6. Chase the about window across Spaces and try to sneak up on it when it's not looking.

    What is the expected output?
    That the About window be more frontmost than all other windows, or at least that switching to it doesn't defocus & close hotkey window.
