Thanks for the patch! The fix makes good sense: switching to space?.activate(false, false) allows Mutter to handle input focus naturally on pointer crossing rather than forcing PaperWM's internal selectedWindow which caused the focus mismatch in #1000.
One administrative note: this PR is currently targeting release as its base branch. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, changes should target develop so they can be merged into the active development cycle. Could you retarget the base branch to develop? Once that's updated, it should be good to go.
