Bug Description

Ubuntu release: 20.04 Focal Fossa
Package version: gnome-shell 3.34.3-1ubuntu1, firefox 72.0.2+build1-0ubuntu1

Expected Behavior: new Terminal window would be foregrounded/focused on creation via ctrl-alt-t when another terminal window not already focused

Actual Behavior: if Firefox, e.g., is currently selected/focused, ctrl-alt-t produces a Terminal window that is backgrounded (usually behind the Firefox window), along with a pop-up desktop notification stating "Terminal is ready".
