Focusing alacritty with ALT+TAB leaves cursor unfocused #8316
Description
Whenever I activate (bring into the foreground) alacritty using the ALT+TAB combination of kwin, alacritty is stuck thinking it is unfocused.
In that state the text cursor shows only its rectangular outline. Additionally, middle-click paste does not work.
To get it out of that state I need to hit ALT again, or switch to another window and back without the combination. Left click on the window doesn't help.
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch Alacritty
- Switch to another window
- Switch back using ALT+TAB
- Observe the text cursor and try middle-click paste
I've got no custom keybinds set.
