Issue description

To reproduce:

• Be on MacOS platform (as far as I can tell)
• Create two separate new documents.
• In each one, create a body and a sketch.
• Attempt to edit the sketch in the second document (double click, edit menu, etc.)

Results: Instead of seeing the sketch you just chose to edit, the screen focus will change to the first document tab. You won't be viewing the edited sketch (in the second part) you just selected to edit.

If you manually select that tab, you will see that editing mode on the sketch has been correctly enabled--you just lost focus of it.

Anything else?

Here's an update: I tested the latest realthunder fork and this bug seems to NOT be present there. This may help narrow down the problem for fixing in the main distro:

@realthunder you might have the fix already :)

[realthunder]

That's a stubborn problem on MacOS. I've made several attempts to fix, but it kept coming back. Not sure what change that did the job. I'll try to dig it out.

[gotchoices]

If you can discover the root cause, it would be so great to add a regression test for it so it doesn't keep cropping up.

[realthunder]

Can someone that uses MacOS test this small patch. I wasn't sure if this is actually a fix at the time, so the commit log says it's a temporary fix.

[gotchoices]

I'm happy to test, but having some challenges trying to compile from source on my platform at the moment. Anyone have a working mac build environment they can use to deploy the patch (or willing to help me debug some build problems off forum)?

[luzpaz]

can't wait till we have cross-platform experimental builds (and not just for snap packaging)

I'm still seeing this problem with the Link Daily branch v20230131 with Macos 13.2
