Hey,

I found this app really useful, but I have an annoying issue that only happens when it is turned on.

I work mostly with the keyboard. When I'm typing in a window and changing a virtual desktop, I expect the focus to move to the window in the new virtual desktop and be able to type directly inside. However, the focus remains on the old window in the previous virtual desktop, and all keystrokes are reflected there instead. I need to Alt-Tab to restore the proper focus.

I'm running Windows 11 Insiders Beta channel. The installation was done two days ago.

Hello, here is a video of the bug, also with notepads.

I am on 22H2 build 22631.1830. I'm unsure what information could be relevant for debugging. What can I provide?

I was wondering if you were able to reproduce the bug.

No, I could not reproduce this bug.
Then i think about it. It is not a software issue.

Please try unsintalling Power Virtual Desktops, I suspect it is still there for you.
Any it is not an OS either. Because i did a fresh install of Said version OS. I do not see it happending.

You may try to disable 3rd party applicatoins one by one to see which is the cause of said behavior?

What do you mean by "Please try uninstalling Power Virtual Desktops, I suspect it is still there for you." The issue is caused by "Power Virtual Desktops" it is not happening without it. This is the issue tracker for "Power Virtual Desktops" right?

I have this issue with an almost brand-new install as this is a new computer.
I tried anyway to close everything except "Power Virtual Desktops", and the issue is still happening.

I tried a bunch of things and I think I found the root cause: "Disable Adjacent Desktop Switch Animation".

If I disable this option, everything seems to work.

I am able to reproduce it now.
I am looking into this, to see if I could come up with a fix.
