Login window opens in background and doesn't remember last used accounts

[rubenaster]

Describe the bug

Using az login with the new CLI now opens only a small login window, fair enough. But this window opens somewhere in the backgorund and I don't see it in the tab browser, which means I always have to search it.

In addition, it doesn't remember last logged in accounts, which means that I always have to re-enter my email adresses (I have multiple customers).

I'm calling the az login command from Visual Studio Code PowerShell terminal.

Expected behavior

Window always opens in foreground, is visible using Alt+Tab and remembers last logged in accounts so I can quickly select them.

Any news? This is very user-unfriendly behavior and causes huge amount of confusion for new users. Even seasoned users like myself are occasionally hit. Having to minimize all open windows just to continue with the login process is cumbersome.

Side node, the part "It does not remember my last login" does not apply to me. WAM / Web Account Manager does a great job with remembering my accounts.
