Bug Description
Good morning,
Since upgrading to 22.04 there is an annoying bug when switching to another workspace. After the switch to one of the other workspaces, the desktop has the focus, instead of an application window. Until now, the window that most recently had focus on that workspace, would get the focus again, which I would consider normal behaviour.
This bug leads to confusing (sometimes funny) situations, like
- me switching to another WS
- press ctrl A to select all text in the window I assume is active
- nothing seems to happen, but (not visible for me) everything on the desktop is selected
- better not press Del now :)
Best,
Joolz.
P.S. I hope I filed this in the right section, not sure which framework causes this
