Nasty bug but it doesn't happen in my environment, so I'll need to know exactly what your DE (or WM) is, and if you're using X11 or Wayland. I'll try to replicate your environment. I expected this to happen while alt tab-ing but on focus change I have no clue what event could be triggering to generate the key-press. Thanks for reporting it.

[gaborbata]

Hey @SpartanJ thanks for checking. My DE is Gnome 46 / Wayland. The issue happens with alt+tab, an also with clicking the mouse to another application.

I was able to reproduce it with the setup you mentioned, I just pushed a fix. You'll be able to test the fix with the nightly build.

Hey @SpartanJ tested with the latest nightly build (0.6.4-13), I can confirm the issue has been fixed. Thanks
