Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu Lunar Lobster (development branch)
Release: 23.04

On Lunar Lobster Beta build, if you run apps from the gnome shell / search, the app is not active/highlighted automatically. It will not be on top of other app window.

Example: Running terminal application from the search. When the terminal window loaded, you can't directly type on the terminal. Need to click on the icon first to activate the window.

Uploaded the video to streamable, but it will expire in a day.

Thanks.

Yes it's a lot but often that's enough for us to identify the problem without needing to ask you questions. Unfortunately not this time.

I can reproduce it now. It's the desktop-icons-ng extension stealing focus from the new window. Sounds related to bug 1978017 and bug 1969598
