When a parent is iconified the glass code "iconifies" its children which is to say it hides them. Under the right circumstances the children may get ordered back to the front and made visible almost immediately.

This causes reorderChildWindows to be called on the newly iconified parent and the process of re-ordering the child windows can cause hidden windows to be made visible. For some reason the NSScreen strangeness only happens if "System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Minimize windows into application icon" is turned OFF. This is not the first time we've encountered this, see [JDK-8353902](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8353902)
