Platform

Operating system and version: Windows 10 May 2020 update OBS Studio version: 25.0.8

Expected Behavior

When alt-tabbing back into OBS studio, and a web page was active, I expect keyboard focus to return to the entry field I was on. keyboard focus is on the window that brought up the web interface.

Current Behavior

When alt-tabbing back into OBS Studio, keyboard focus is on the window that brought up the web interface.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open OBS Studio and configure for streaming. Choose Twitch and select to authorize the account.
  2. The Twitch login comes up. Alt-tab out to copy your password from a password manager like 1Password.
  3. Alt-tab back in.
  4. Keyboard focus is reported to be on the dialog that opened for authorization.

Additional information

I am blind and use the NVDA screen reader. Once I alt-tab out of OBS Studio, and back in, NVDA no longer finds the web interface or many other controls inside such windows or dialogs.

This also happens after configuration finishes and one is supposed to fill in some details about the stream, like the title or message to tweet etc. If I alt-tab out, then back in, there is no way I can get that window back into focus and fill it out.
