**Describe the bug**
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

**To Reproduce**

2. Select option to share a window (not the whole screen)
3. The share this widow button is not clickable, you need to click the title bar first to bring it in focus.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the window-sharing behavior on macOS with Hex running, including a full-screen window. Locate the code responsible for Hex's window focus or always-on-top behavior; done means the share-this-window control is clickable without refocusing the title bar and still works with a full-screen window.
