I doubt the new behaviour is preferred by the author or anyone. Seems
like a mistake. Please report it to:
https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/issues
** No longer affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
** Summary changed:
- no auto-focus application after workspace switch
+ Desktop Icons
Then somehow in between 21.10 and 22.04 there was a change in the
behaviour of Desktop Icons NG, as in: when is grabbing focus
appropriate.
If the new behaviour is preferred by the author, it would be nice for
the end-user to have the option to toggle between the old and the new
behaviour.

Sounds like a tricky problem because Desktop Icons NG is itself an
application that is allowed to take focus (when appropriate).
** Also affects: gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng (Ubuntu)

@daniel thanks for the tip!
Disabling seems to solve the focus issue, but now there's no more
desktop icons (duh :) )
Personally I use the desktop icons all the time, anything that needs
immediate attention goes to the desktop, disabling that would (for me)
not be a workaround, but a choice
I can't seem to reproduce the problem myself...
Please try disabling the 'Desktop Icons NG' extension in the Extensions
app (may require logging in again) and then tell us if the bug persists.
