Guake first run via F12 does not take focus

[assmblyreq]

Describe the bug

On first boot, Guake is autorun. First press F12 hotkey, Guake appears, but does not have window focus or keyboard input. To have window focus, F12 must be pressed 2 more times to make Guake hide and reappear. Subsequent used of Guake apeear as expected even after logging out of Guake via Ctrl-D or exit command. This issue is only on the very first appearance of Guake to a new Gnome session.

I finally restarted my machine to test this and did not encounter this bug. Does this still happen on the latest build for you?

[assmblyreq]

Yes.

I experience the same behavior:

$ guake --version
Guake Terminal: 3.8.0
VTE: 0.64.2
VTE runtime: 0.64.2
Gtk: 3.24.30

Me too. Also, the window does not span through the screen (if not related I could create a new issue).

The window issue always happened/happens when Preference window (guake -p) is open.

Guake Terminal: 3.7.0
VTE: 0.60.3
VTE runtime: 0.60.3
Gtk: 3.24.20

I have the same issue with needing to hit the keyshortcut twice, first to show guake, then again to focus it. However for me the issue happens not only after boot, but every time. Maybe its because I'm on gnome+wayland.

Managed to make a workaround with a custom toggle-guake command https://gist.github.com/ckjoris/cf2b3a7ef729e629409db47d29009b04

I solved it by uninstalling Guake and using the ddterm extension instead

ddterm only works with GNOME Terminal, right?

I'm using quake-mode, with Alacritty in one host and GNOME Terminal in other.
