Using the unbound command workbench.view.search.moveView focus goes to where the search view is being moved from, not to.

So if search is in the panel and one triggers the following keybinding, focus goes to the panel. And if the search view is in the sidebar, and then moved to the panel, focus goes to the sidebar - when focus started at the editor in both cases. I would expect focus to either not leave the editor at all (first choice) or go to the search view wherever it moved to (second choice).

So it is odd that focus goes to where search just left.

Using this keybinding (all extensions disabled):

{
   "key": "alt+e",
   "command": "workbench.view.search.moveView"
 },

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
