Ghostty makes GTK app lost focus and xdg-desktop-portal request failed

[hongquan]

I'm developing a GTK app which needs to access webcam, via xdg-desktop-portal. When I launch the app from terminal (run directly, not via Flatpak), my app lost focus and the call to portal failed with this error in xdg-desktop-portal logs:

A backend call failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Only the focused app is allowed to show a system access dialog

If I use gnome-terminal, Kitty, this issue doesn't happen, the dialog to ask for permission can show.

Is there a way for me to reproduce this in some easy way? That'd allow to actually verify and work on this.

Hi @mitchellh

You can grab the source code of the app here https://codeberg.org/quan/CoBangB to try.
The README have a guide for how to run it.
