Some Cosmic Terminal Input is no Longer Taken When Swapping Between Applications in the Background. #536

Description

I originally found this on Firefox, but have also observed it with Cosmic Files as well (I will add others I find).

When switching to Cosmic terminal when using Firefox (not minimizing), many inputs are no longer taken. (To guess it seems like any input that can interact in Firefox as a hotkey or such seems to affect Firefox still). The terminal acts as normal until some website is loaded in Firefox in foreground and then swapping back to Cosmic terminal where it will no longer take input.

System Information

OS: Pop!_OS 24.04

Reproduction

Main Method

  • Open Cosmic terminal, use as regular
  • Open Firefox, go to some website, such as youtube. I first noticed this here when swapping back and forth for commands.
  • Refocus terminal and input will be broken
  • Note if you minimize (or close) Firefox the terminal will work as expected again.

Others

I have also observed the same issue with different ordering such as:

  • Open Firefox, go to youtube
  • Open cosmic terminal
  • Reload or changes sites
  • Return to terminal, with input broken
