Clicking on web link in chat no longer switches focus to browser

Using a supported version?

• [X] I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Overall summary

If you click on a web link in a Signal Desktop chat, the link opens in your browser but the focus remains on the Signal app rather than switching to the browser. This has only started happening recently, although I couldn't say exactly which Signal version. The issue doesn't occur with other messaging apps I use such as Telegram.

Steps to reproduce

Click on a web link in a Signal chat.

Expected result

The app focus should switch to the browser.

Actual result

The app focus remains on Signal.

Sorry about this-- it might be an upstream bug related to electron. they recently released a fix for this, and our upcoming 7.34 release should include the fix. please check it again later this week after the update!
