macOS Ventura 13.3 – no hotkeys after focus shift by keyboard

[Baloobear]

Since my update from 13.2 to 13.3 of macOS Ventura I face the problem that the hotkeys stop working when I shift the focus to another application with CMD + Tab. Staying within the application (e.g. Chrome Browser) works in the beginning but stops working after a while, too.

After switching to another application, e.g. by mouse click to another window, the hotkeys only work in some cases, but in an unpredictably manner.

The debug log prints out the following lines after trying to max/min/switch screen:

Is there any more information needed, please let me know.

Try restarting your Mac. It solved my problem!

Strange, since I tried a reboot already which haven't fixed the issue my last reboot seemed to fix the problem.

Okay, maybe just some awkward behavior. Thanks for the hint.
