Description

Adding a new Directory to Monitor to the Auto Reimport settings for the Editor results in any Editor windows on the primary monitor being moved behind the top-most window on that monitor.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Add a new folder named Art to the root folder of any project.
  2. Add a new folder named Content to the Art folder.
  3. Add a new folder named Meshes to the Content folder.
  4. Open the project in the Editor.
  5. Navigate to Edit -> Editor Preferences -> General -> Loading & Saving -> Auto Reimport.
  6. Expand the advanced settings section.
  7. Add a new element to the Directories to Monitor array.
  8. Click the Browse button for the new element and select the Meshes folder added in step 3.

RESULT:
Any Editor windows on the primary monitor are moved behind the top-most window that is already open on that monitor, and that window takes focus from the Editor.

EXPECTED:
The Editor keeps focus after the directory is selected.
