this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/863425

gnome-control-center: 1:3.2.0-0

"I have found that if I have the system-settings window already open then clicking the indicator menu item 'System-Settings...' does not bring the existing window to the foreground.

It does work as expected if you simply open system-settings and then change focus to another open window but if you open any of the options then it stops working."

"It also seems to happen when calling the application from the command line"

Pedro you understand the bug?,  can you say me the exacts steps for try to reproduce?, because try in several ways but always get the windows focus

gnome-control-center just calls gtk_window_present(). How to act upon it is up to the window manager (which I guess isn't gnome-shell).
