Hello, there's a bug/annoyance in gnome where newly spawned terminals don't get focus: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2690
For example typing in terminal A, then spawning another terminal B using the laucher will make terminal B appear on the screen, but the focus stays on terminal A. I'm currently seeing some people typing stuff into IRC that shouldn't go there because of this issue. Is this something we want to patch until upstream has decided what to do about it? The patch restores the previous behavior.
