Environment

Windows build number: [run `[Environment]::OSVersion` for powershell, or `ver` for cmd]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro for Workstations
10.0.19042.746 (2009, 20H2)
WindowsTerminalPreview_1.5.3242.0_x64
Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

With another GUI app on the desktop (Notepad or Firefox will do) and working in WT, press Alt-Shift+Plus (split) AND BE SLOW ABOUT RELEASING THE KEYS.

Expected behavior

Further splitting of panes (as happens if there's no other window on the desktop).

Actual behavior

Focus switches to the other desktop app.

I've done this a dozen times while composing this post. If I'm slow to release Alt-Shift-Plus, focus goes to Firefox. FWIW, I use a rather old PS/2 keyboard.
