ctrl+tab, ctrl+shift+tab window doesn't get input focus

[jeremydrahos]

When typing into a terminal in one window, if you ctrl+tab to another terminal and type, it remains typing in the one into which you were just typing.

Open a few tabs. 4 in my case. start typing in one, press ctrl+tab to go to the next one (or beyond), start typing and you'll notice nothing is happening. Go to the last tab into which you were typing and what you had typed is in there.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Pro 21H2 Build 19044.1889
• Browser: SuperPutty
• 1.4.0.10

Exactly the same problem.
Moreover, the "ctrl+tab" are also considered as ";5;9~" in the initial putty session (EDIT : in fact the polluted characters are due to an option in Kitty that you should enable when using a tab manager : Windows > Behaviour > "Switch PuTTY windows with Ctrl + TAB")

I'm having this same issue. Mine seems to be persistent once it starts. I can close and re-launch SuperPuTTY with the same problem persisting. I've attached a screen shot of the log viewer while this is happening:

Still having same problem on 1.5.0. Tested with putty or kitty, same behavior.

To sum it up :

• I have two tabs : T1 & T2
• Put the focus on T1 by clicking on T1 tab, showing T1 session, and type "aaaa" => effectivly write the char string in the T1 session
• Put the focus on T2 by "CtrlTab" on T2 tab ssh session, showing T2 session, and type "bbbb" => nothing is written on screen T2 ! ... whereas bbbb is written on T1 session underneath !

@rivabem also pointed out the problem here ; #864
@jimradford Could you give your opinion on this issue ? I don't understand why this bug doesn't bother other users : are all others changing tabs by clicking on tabs, and not using keyboard shortcut CtrlTab CtrlShiftTab ?
