I see, yes it could just be Windows. I'm using Windows 10 by the way.

It could be that because I'm doing a Commit, Explorer is told somehow to 
"refresh" (to show the green TortoiseSVN icon I suppose), and this causes 
it to take priority and become the front window. Perhaps, because the 
"Commit Finished!" window is not in cache because I've not been using 
TortoiseSVN for while, it loses the race between who gets to be on front 
between the Explorer and "Commit Finished!" TortoiseSVN window.

Perhaps this is happening because I also have Dropbox on, which likes to 
watch and manage folders and files all the time too.
