Switching between workspaces in the multi-workspace using the project search ends up outside key contexts

[JonGretar]

Reproduction steps

1. Start Zed Nightly
2. Add two workspaces to the new MultiWorkspace
3. Toggle the recent project panel and switch between the workspaces
4. Try to use the keyboard.

Sometimes happens on the first time you switch between projects. Sometimes it takes a couple times.

Current vs. Expected behavior

When I use the recent project switcher to jump between open workspaces I end up in some state where nothing is focused. Then no keyboard action works until I click on anywhere in the zed window to set the active context.

• This does not happen when switching between workspaces using multi_workspace::PreviousWorkspace or multi_workspace::NextWorkspace.
• This happens with projects::OpenRecent either when using a keymap to activate, or when using the top bar button.
• The keyboard context window displays no Current Context Stack, but recognizes the keypresses. Just can't match them to any actions as the Workspace context isn't even active.

Thanks for the report, trivial to repro.

This seems to be fixed. I will try for a little while and close it if it no longer happens
