Describe the bug
When notepad++ windows regains the focus, the cursor is not active thus it is not possible to type right away. One has to mouse click into the window to regain the cursor first.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open notepad++ and another application of your choice
  2. type some text into a notepad++ file
  3. Press Alt+l and Alt+h to move focus between the two applications
  4. When focus gets back to notepad++ window, the cursor is lost.

Expected behavior
Cursor should blink at former position and be ready to receive keyboard input.

Operating System
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
10.0.19045 Build 19045

Notepad++ v 8.4.9

If this is still an issue it should be raised in the Notepad++ repo as it suggests a failure to handle focus change events properly.
