The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Cocoa' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I'm not sure how bitwarden opens this new window. Brad, since you've worked on fullscreen recently, can you confirm that we should be able to display a window on top of fullscreen in the z-order? I'm assuming that this should be possible because I seem to be able to open PiP windows even when in fullscreen, but it would be good to get confirmation.

I can kind-of reproduce this with the "Popup" extension https://github.com/aqt/webext-popup. Here's my repro:

1. Open a window and put two tabs in it.
2. Fullscreen the window.
3. Click the Popup extension and from the dropdown menu, choose "Open this tab as a popup".

Expected Results: The popup appears as a window on top of the fullscreen window.
Actual Results: The popup appears in fullscreen on a new desktop (sliding over) alongside the existing fullscreen window.

I'll see if I can improve behavior here.
