In 23.04, when switching virtual desktops, the window that receives focus seems to be the root window, not the last application from that desktop

In previous versions, when switching virtual desktops focus was attached to the last window focused on such desktop.

In 23.04 (running Gnome), when I switch virtual desktops the focus seems to always go to root window. Is this a bug or a configurable behavior?

This is really inconvenient, because it adds so much friction to virtual desktops workflow to make it virtually pointless.

I believe the question duplicated this thread https://askubuntu.com/questions/1407281/active-window-loosing-focus-when-switching-workspace-ubuntu-22-04-gnome-42. It's a bug in gnome Icons NG extension. – Kirill Fedyanin May 18 '23 at 12:29
Indeed, it was. Thanks for the pointer. :-) – LukaszMaciejewski May 21 '23 at 07:08
