Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.356]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.5.2661.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create three tabs
  2. Use the CTRL+ALT+{1,2,3} short cut to quickly jump between tabs in random order

I've had the problem occur under more normal usage, but the above steps reproduce it consistently.

Expected behavior

Tabs continue to change and apply focus.

Actual behavior

At least one tab will forget it's focused pane, causing:

a) The tab's title to go blank
b) The keyboard bindings to stop responding

Clicking inside the tab's terminal restores the focus, title, and binding responsiveness.

Ah yes so it is. It was a tricky one to search for. I might even attempt the PR if I can find the time.
