Describe the bug
When two windows are stacked, the setting mouse_follows_focus set to false and toggling between these two windows using komorebic cycle-focus next, the focus does not change.

In this case, I would expect the focus the change. And it does change and work as I expect if the setting mouse_follows_focus is set to true.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Set mouse_follows_focus to false.
Open and stack two windows. (For example the notepad)
Start typing on the first notepad.
Toggle to the other window. (komorebic cycle-focus next)
Continue typing...
(You should see that you are still typing on the first notepad window.)

Expected behavior
When two windows are stacked, the setting mouse_follows_focus set to false and toggling between these two windows using komorebic cycle-focus next, the focus should change to the window in foreground. (This already works as expected but only if the setting mouse_follows_focus is set to true)

Screenshots and Videos
Not sure if necessary. Let me know if I should provide any.

Operating System
Provide the output of systeminfo | grep "^OS Name\|^OS Version"

OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows 11 Home
OS Version:                10.0.22631 N/A Build 22631

komorebic check Output
Provide the output of komorebic check

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\Jesse

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\Jesse

No komorebi configuration found in C:\Users\Jesse

If running 'komorebic start --await-configuration', you will manually have to call the following command to begin tiling: komorebic complete-configuration

Additional context
My config.
