Description

Hi, I am using yabai 7.1.25 on Tahoe with layout bsp and focus_follows_mouse autofocus.

When I open any context menu or dropdown in [XnViewMP](https://www.xnview.com/en/xnview-mp/) and try to hover it, the main window loses focus and the dropdown disappears. The only way I can access the menus is if I temporarily disable focus_follows_mouse by holding down the mouse_modifier key. Is there any way to fix this?

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce on macOS Tahoe with yabai 7.1.25, bsp layout, and focus_follows_mouse set to autofocus using an XnViewMP context menu or dropdown; compare behavior while holding the mouse_modifier key. Done means QT menus remain open while hovering without disabling focus_follows_mouse.
