Composer loses focus after window is minimized for a while #7137

Whenever I send a message, minimize Signal, and then reopen it, the typing area isn’t focused.

Instead, the window just opens, and typing doesn’t do anything, no text is registered.

Sometimes, it even triggers random actions due to shortcuts.

I want to be able to type immediately after unminimizing Signal, similar to how it works on Discord.

Is this a bug or an intended “feature”?

For now, you can use the Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+T shortcut to put your cursor in the composer as workaround.

What platform are you on? I don't see a loss of focus when minimizing and restoring on macOS at least.

It occurs on both Windows and macOS. Try waiting a few minutes after minimizing, it should not refocus afterward.
