Until now this only happened after opening a session through `kdevelop --ps` so I wrote it down to a mis-manipulation on my end. A weird one though because it occurs on a fast machine that is not subject to what I'd call event processing delays.

Until now I've had 3 unrelated sessions that popped up (or down, rather; they always open behind everything else on OS X), including one that holds a complete Qt 4.8.6 source directory.

I don't believe I clicked on any myself, e.g. to bring the window to the foreground. Not 3 times in a row. In fact, the latest session I had to kill opened on a different "Space" (aka workspace), just as I was about to write this email ...

I can understand this being bothersome, but it's definitely not what
we'd expect.

Maybe you can figure out which CLI arguments started those processes?
it might help trace the problem back.
