Include with the bug report is a patch to fix the issue. Currently application (even GUI ones) that adhere to the Win API rules, will have there main forms hidden, when launched via the Lazarus External Tools option. This patch fixes that behaviour by making it user selectable.

Yes, I vote for this too. Just a few days ago I was shortly before patching this myself. The workaround is starting the program with cmd.exe /C start \path\to\tool.exe but I find this somehow annoying.

That is annoying, and most will not know that anyway, and think it's a bug in the tool. The Lazarus developers seem quite busy, so lets give them a few more days to review my patch.
