switching keyboard layout always switch focus to main display

[mjgritli]

Dear developer

I'm having a major issue that is irritating my workflow.
I speak 2 languages so I have 2 keyboard layouts, the issue is; if I'm focused on the 2nd monitor which has a separate space, whenever I switch keyboards (while the cursor is focused on the input box) layouts using a shortcut or mouse, yabai will always switch focus on whatever is on display 1

thanks

like #1910 😭，it has been happened long time, but I have no idea how to debug it.

I am unable to reproduce this issue on the lastet master. This terminal is on screen 2, while other applications are visible on screen 1. Changing input source using keyboard shortcuts and the menubar:

HI, thank you for taking the time to check this issue.

I have been trying to debug this issue recently, I found some special config will cause it to happen.

This log is using the latest master, after I change fouse 哔哩哔哩 (display 1) to Obsidian (display 2) just switch input source many times, will automatedly switch back to 哔哩哔哩 (display 1):

I tried to exclusion which config cause it, but it no pattern😢.

I managed to reproduce the issue and have adjusted some logic on master just now that I think should resolve this.
