selectWindow("ROI Manager") not working when window minimized

[Cammer, Michael-3]

If the ROI Manager window is hiding behind other windows, the following works fine to pop it to the front.

selectWindow("ROI Manager");

But if the ROI Manager window has been minimized, then running the above does not work.  But selecting it in the Window pull down menu works fine.

Is there a way to please have the macro command work for when ROI Manager has been minimized?

I am using 1.53h6.

Thank you.

This bug is fixed in the ImageJ 1.53h8 daily build. This problem with using selectWindow(windowTitle) on minimized windows was not limited to the ROI Manager.
