I enabled focus on hover in ubuntu. Whenever I follow a path like
file->open in a piece of software (eg, VSCode) there is a very small
delay while the "open" button disappears and the file explorer opens.
During this delay my cursor is over the main program window, so this
gets granted focus and the file explorer window opens behind it, which
is very irritating.

Many programs will freeze while you are selecting a file to open, and it
can give the impression something has crashed when the file explorer
window is hidden behind the main window.

I would propose an optional delay in focus switching if a window has
just been opened in order to allow a new sub-window to appear beneath
the cursor, before focus switches to the original window again.
