Id love to hear from people if this version fixes the keyboard focus. As that has always been my issue unfortunately

I mean, it works most of the time, but just seems with stacking for me it sometimes fails, and might be related to Virt-manager

yeah I tried it with a VM and a few games. it was worse for the games. had to toggle between workspaces a couple times for the game to pick up the keyboard again.

I think this is more a wayland issue than a cosmic one. I sometimes get this issue on Niri or Hyprland, rarely on Sway (but it does happen) and also even more rarely on KDE but again, it has happened.

Anything X11? never.

I don't remember having it on kde or Wayland. If I did it was years ago
