Keyboard focus remains in previous window when changing focus away from popup menus

[Spiffyk]

• Sway Version: 1.10.1 (but has been happening for a while, but I could not pinpoint how to reproduce it reliably)

• Debug Log:

  • With default config: sway.default.log
  • With my personal config: sway.log

• Configuration File:

  • Arch Linux default
  • My personal config: https://gitlab.com/Spiffyk/dotfiles/-/blob/8dcc08ea76428fa07f9317fd52d7c86d0b8c1e40/.config/sway/config

• Description:

  • Open some windows
  • Open a GTK or Qt6 app with rollout menus, like context menus or a menu bar, e.g. nautilus
  • Open a menu (e.g. right-click a file in nautilus)
  • Without closing the menu beforehand, focus a different window (either click or hover, depending on config)
  • Try typing something
  • Notice that instead of the newly focused window, you are still typing into the previously focused one, even though the focus has changed visually

This is especially troublesome when a password dialog pops up while a context menu is open, because one may leak their password somewhere (I had a few close calls).

EDIT: Permalink to config on a commit hash instead of master.

EDIT 2: Encountered with Qt6 as well, so not GTK-specific

Just encountered this with a menu in KRDC as well, which is a Qt6/KDE Frameworks 6 program. So not GTK-exclusive as I originally suspected.
