Incorrect Mouse Focus when typing CTRL-D

Bug Reports

Describe the Bug

When typing CTRL-D in a Chat, the expected behavior is that the character at the cursor position is deleted in the chat conversation.

Actual behavior: it deletes a character in the the last opened editor file (that shouldn’t have mouse focus at all)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. open a file , position the cursor where you can see it
  2. start a chat
  3. type something, and go back to the start of that line e.g. with CTRL-A
  4. type CTRL-D to delete a character
    → a character in the opened editor file will be removed instead of the chat window

Expected Behavior

focus should be only in the chat window, and all control characters should only be affecting the text typed in the chat window – NEVER in an editor window

Operating System

MacOS
