Research direction

Start by reproducing the incomplete object returned by remote.getCurrentWindow and compare it with the window state shown in the issue. Focus on whether properties such as alwaysOnTop are exposed through the remote bridge. Done means the supported behavior or limitation is established and documented by a focused test or issue update.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is this an inherent limitation? A design choice?

Through this we cannot access anything, like for instance to see if the window is set to remain alwaysOnTop.
