Description

As the title suggests, Hyprlock successfully starts and locks the user session, blocking input to other windows and inputs. Upon entering the right user password, Hyprlock terminates and returns visibility to windows. But inputs are not returned to the last active window (or any, for that matter) until a keybind or dispatcher forces a window focus. I've attempted changing Hyprland's configurations for layers to not hog focus, and re-enabling focus fallback as those options had been disabled, however these attempts did not solve the issue.

How to reproduce

Simply run hyprlock in any way (terminal, bind) and unlock the screen. Focus/inputs are not returned to the active window until it is forcibly focused
