Device contexts deactivate/reactivate back and forth on keypress/focus events since v4.2.2 #319
Description
I'm not sure if I've missed some breaking change somewhere between 4.12.1 -> 5.2.0, but by config/setup appears to be "slightly" incompatible with the newest versions. 🙂
Edit: The issue got introduced already with version 4.12.2 (commit 821ef02 to be precise).
Here's a screen capture to illustrate what I'm seeing:
recording-2025-12-03_17.27.20.mp4
I do not know how to even approach debugging this. Any suggestions what to check @houmain?
I'm still manually building for Ubuntu 20.04 (I'm just about to get a new laptop). There's some warning during the build which may or may not be relevant:
