Relevant environment info

- OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 (Kubuntu)

- IDE: JetBrains PyCharm, RubyMine, IntelliJ, WebStorm - all 2023.3.4

Description

When the plugin's side panel is open, it steals focus preventing me from being able to edit code, copy/paste from the editor pane, or access menus from the top bar. If I click in the editor, the cursor appears momentarily, then disappears. If I type after clicking in the editor, the text appears in the plugin panel. When I close the plugin's side panel, everything works again. This was not a problem before I upgraded to version 0.0.33.

To reproduce

1. Open the plugin side panel
2. Click in the editor and start typing or try selecting code to copy

Same here: https://github.com/continuedev/continue/issues/961

same here, makes the plugin pretty much unusable

@OwenRay I switched to CodeGPT for that reason.

Problem has been solved, and the new version will be available on the store in just a day or two. I'll share another update here when it's ready!

I can confirm that the focus issue is fixed for me in version 0.0.39. Thank you very much!
