Sometimes the focused window don't receive the keyboard input, to workaround this you need to change the focused window and return.

How To Reproduce

Open Firefox and type something in a text field
Change the focused window until you can't type on the text field

Which apps are you using to reliably reproduce this? Cosmic-Terminal has a know bug, where the text area can loose focus: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-term/issues/229

It's also present in cosmic-edit, and is tracked here. https://github.com/pop-os/libcosmic/issues/431

@Drakulix GTK3 and GTK4 programs, maybe Qt programs.

I have this bug with Firefox, maybe it's the more easy to reproduce.

I had this bug on the build from 4 days ago:

Now I updated to this build:

I've sometimes noticed Firefox not getting keyboard input, until I switch to another application and back. Not sure if it's related to having Firefox in a stack. I've not been able to reproduce it consistently.
