Description

When adding onscreen buttons through lua, they often get pressed when I'm working in an entirely different window. Accept background input is off, so I'm not sure maybe it's just a bug?

Research direction

Start by locating the Lua onscreen-button input handling and the mainform focus state; no file or test is named in the issue. Determine how focus should be exposed to Lua and verify that the result distinguishes the mainform from another window while background input is disabled.
