[bug] Alt+Tab -ing to window won't focus its contents on Windows with `unstable` feature (can't interact with content using keyboard)

[WofWca]

Describe the bug

When you Alt + Tab to a Tauri window, or otherwise focus it without clicking on its contents, you are unable to interact with its contents without first clicking inside of it.

Reproduction

1. Add unstable feature to examples/api app:

   tauri/examples/api/src-tauri/Cargo.toml

   Lines 29 to 36 in b0ddee8

   	features = [
   	"protocol-asset",
   	"image-ico",
   	"image-png",
   	"isolation",
   	"macos-private-api",
   	"tray-icon",
   	]

2. Build and start the example app.

3. Press Alt + Tab to un-focus it.

4. Press Alt + Tab to focus it again

5. Press Tab

Expected behavior

Pressing Tab moves focus to the next HTML element.

Stack trace

Additional context

The bug does not appear without unstable. The same goes for our own app.

This looks highly related to #9755 (fixed by #13222).

I have faced a similar issue with the unstable flag, only on windows platform.
The window is not focused whatever you try.
Where if you open a second window from the first and then close it, the main window is always unfocused when window.isFocused() is called.
However, I have found a workaround, which is to use edit this file in tao:
\tao-0.33.0\src\platform_impl\windows\window_state.rs

pub fn has_active_focus(&self) -> bool { self.is_active && self.is_focused }

to

pub fn has_active_focus(&self) -> bool { self.is_active || self.is_focused }

this means that window will be focused if it is active or it is focused which made a lot of sense to me.

unstable.mp4

unstable-edited-state.mp4

To me it doesn't seem like pub fn has_active_focus(&self) -> bool { self.is_active || self.is_focused } is correct, but either way this is a great pointer, thanks!
