Switching tty stops input

Pretty much the title is all i have to say. I don't know if this could be sway related but firefox and mpv remain usable after switching tty.

~There does seem to be some other bugs related to switching the TTY. On firefox 67.0, if I navigate to this github issue and then switch TTY when I go back to the sway TTY firefox crashes. This does not happen if firefox is loaded without navigating to a web page.~ This seems to have resolved itself after I reset my FF profile.

~Upon further research, I believe this is a sway-specific issue. I tried creating a wterm window in weston, and was able to switch TTYs and successfully use the same terminal window. I did notice the wterm window was "unfocused" and the terminal was black - once I clicked on the wterm window it regained focus and I was able to type again.~ According to sway devs wterm needs to handle seat capability events
