[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Video/Audio Controls' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thanks for reporting this; it's definitely a bug, we shouldn't be stealing focus in response to a system keyboard shortcut.

Interestingly, I can reproduce this on Ubuntu 22.04, but not on 20.04. That makes me wonder if it's actually a Firefox bug at all...

Yes, I think PIP window should not get focus at all unless it's explicitly selected.

I think it can be reproduced on Wayland only, right? Can you attach about:support page from affected browser?
Thanks.

That's XWayland. Ubuntu 20.04 used X.org. I think XWayland behaves differently here.
