Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.14.1451.0
### Windows build number
10.0.19042.0
### Other Software
_No response_
### Steps to reproduce
Create new pane/new tab
### Expected Behavior
It is possible to type in the newly opened terminal
### Actual Behavior
Unable to type until I click on the new terminal.
Note that enabling the option "Automatically focus pane on mouse hover" partially prevents the issue from happening.
It seems like focus is removed from all terminal tabs/panes whenever a new one is created.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue by creating a new pane or tab on Windows Terminal 1.14.1451.0 and verify whether keyboard input is accepted without a mouse click. No source files or tests are identified in the issue; done means newly opened panes and tabs automatically accept typing while preserving the existing focus behavior.
