Description

After the second window attaches, there is no way to regain proper window focus on the first one, and if the second is unfocused, neither window ever gets focus. This prevents keyboard input, and may be the underlying cause of the necessity to pass window focus from the parent, since they can never get it themselves.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the splitscreen case after the second window attaches, including when the second window is unfocused. Trace the window-focus handling to determine why keyboard input cannot return to either window; done means both windows can regain proper focus without relying on focus passed from the parent.
