I've opened <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6476> for this. > > I'd like to push back on the idea that sloppy focus is required. Upstream issues that could be related, all of which seem to be regressions somewhere around version 42: * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5146 * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5270 * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5377 5270 and 5377 seem like maybe closer (or at least more specific) matches for your experience than 5146, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's a common root cause for all of these. Unfortunately, nobody who is in a position to fix these has been able to reproduce any of them. smcv
