Focus does not return to app after alfred search

[bravo 0]

Version: Alfred 4.3.2 on Big Sur

 

When I open an app through Alfred search, the newly opened app window does not receive keyboard/mouse focus even when the window is the topmost. I need to switch to another app and get back before I can work on the window. This issue is reproducible easily and has been present ever since I switched to Big Sur.

 

Thanks for looking into it.

@bravo this behaviour is usually a consequence of a hotkey conflict. If you're using ⌘Space, check the 4 items on this page:

Thanks Andrew. I guess that was it. I don't know how I missed this (changing spotlight shortcut) after installing Big Sur; I used to do this every time after a new install. I will get back to you if this does not fix it.
