This behavior of losing keyboard focus to the previously active window after switching has been mentioned in some forums and issue discussions (e.g., GitHub Pop Shell issue #1717 and various Ubuntu community reports). However, no existing official bug report appears to describe this exact issue where typing input consistently goes to the old window despite the new window being visually focused, and without "focus follows mouse" or "Sloppy"/"Focus on Hover" settings involved.
