Thank you Caroll for the issue. Could you please specify what kind of focus do you use: click/mouse/sloppy ?

This issue can be reproduced with kubuntu-19.04-desktop-amd64.iso Live CD out of the box.
No special steps/settings needed.

Apologies for the late reply.

I've tested with Firefox 66.0.3 (canonical), Firefox 66.0.5 and Nightly 68.0a1 2019-05-14 on Kubuntu 19.04 and on Ubuntu 16.04 2019-05-14, default installs with the terminal being the 2nd application window. It requires 2 left clicks to actually focus, so it seems like the first left click doesn't really focus the terminal window, requiring the 2nd left click to actually focus it. Let's move this to core::widget::gtk for further investigation.

+adding :mak to cc list, since it's possible that address bar might be a better component.
