Document.hasFocus() always returns true when print dialog is opened in Edge on Windows 10

I was trying to use window.setInterval() API to check the result of document.hasfocus().
Normally, when we click to another browser tab or another application, the document.hasfocus() of one page will return false.
However, when I tried to print a webpage in Edge, and with the print dialog opened, I found the document.hasfocus() always returns true, and it shouldn't be, cause the print dialog doesn't belong to the webpage. This only happens on Windows platform(It works fine on Edge for Mac). In fact, this also happens on Chrome for Windows10.
The repro steps:
Open any webpage with Edge.
Open devtools and keep checking document.hasFocus().
Print the webpage and shows the print dialog of Edge.
document.hasFocus() always show true no matter where we click to(another tab or another application).
I am not sure whether this is a bug of Edge or Web APIs, so I think I should submit an issue here to seek for some help. Any workaround that can fix this? Thanks in advance for your kind help.

It is behaving correctly see this for more information.

How can I run Chrome without all browser's controls (tabs, address line, buttons)?

How can I run Chrome without all browser's controls (tabs, address line, buttons)?
only page-area loaded with specific URL
Thanks
Assuming you want to open a specific URL (let's say http://www.example.com), here are 3 options for your consideration. For all options, start by creating a shortcut to Chrome.exe, which you will edit by adding a flag/switch to the 'Target' property of the shortcut.
Open as an App - Use a 'Target' like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app=http://www.example.com
This will open the web page in a generic Windows window, with no browser Chrome available although you can still access browser tools, e.g., pressing F12 to open Developer Tools.
Open Fullscreen - Use a 'Target' like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" http://www.example.com --start-fullscreen
This will open the web page in a Chrome window, which will start fullscreen unless there is another instance of Chrome already open, in which case the page will open in that instance. If you press F11, the browser will return to its normal view mode.
Open in Kiosk Mode - Use a 'Target' like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" http://www.example.com --kiosk
This will open the web page in a Chrome window, which will start in Kiosk mode unless there is another instance of Chrome already open, in which case the page will open in that instance. From my understanding, the only way to close this would be to press Alt+F4.
As mr_kazz explained, you can refer to http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags to see which flags you can use to when launching a Chrome shortcut.
You'll need to start Chrome in "Kiosk mode"
Here is a tutorial for windows: http://think2loud.com/868-google-chrome-full-screen-kiosk-mode/
If you are building a more elaborate kiosk solution, you would put this command in a shell/bash script that would continuously run it (and wait for exit before doing it again). This was if your user pressed Alt+F4 it would just start it again.

The above page links to a page with a huge list of arguments, maybe it can be achieved that way. I would also like to know how this can be done.
I currently use this for opening µTorrent server's webUI
chromium-browser --window-size=900,700 http://admin:#localhost:8080/gui/
Run it with the "--kiosk" switch:-
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk
or wherever else it might be installed.
You can open the webpage as an app. To find out how to do so, search a search engine for "open chrome webpage as app" and follow the instructions. I could paste the instructions here, but once you know how to search for it, it's pretty easy.
