Focus doesn't switch on notification click

See original GitHub issue

The issue:

I am using focus_on_window_activation="focus" in my config file. Everything appears to work fine, although when I use kotatogram-desktop(fork of telegram-desktop) and click on notification, focus doesn’t switch. It’s not a telegram issue, because everything works fine when I use i3wm or another wm/de.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Add focus_on_window_activation="focus" to your config file
  2. Install kotatogram-desktop using yay or another aur helper (yay -S kotatogram-desktop) # arch only
  3. Start kotatogram-desktop
  4. Register/login to telegram
  5. Switch to another workspace
  6. Ask someone to send you a message / write message to yourself from the second account
  7. Wait for popup notification to appear. Click on it notification It’s actually doesn’t matter, if you use kotatogram-desktop or telegram-desktop, so you can use either.

Expected behaviour:

  1. Focus switches to the telegram window and the current chat opens

Actual behaviour:

  1. Nothing happens on the notification click

Xprop output of the window:
