How to reproduce the issue:

1. Focus another window by hovering over it with cursor
2. Change layout to max layout

Actual result:
The window that gains focus after changing the layout is the one selected via keyboard or by clicking on it. Hovering over window doesn't change focus. This doesn't happen when using fullscreen or maximized

Expected result:
Hovering over a window should bring it into focus after the layout change.
