Active Window suddenly goes to background after update to 11.3.1

After upgrading to Big Sur 11.3.1, the active window suddenly goes to the background, even if I'm typing in it. Very frustrating.

New development – when this happens the terminal app opens for no apparent reason.

Big Sur Menu Bar bug (in full screen) Hi everyone, yesterday I updated my MacBook Pro 16 to Big Sur 11.4 from Catalina 10.15.7. After using it for a while I noticed some Menu Bar glitches when applications are opened in full screen. For instance when I watch a pdf document in Preview (opened in full screen) and I move the cursor to the top, the Menu Bar very frequently appears absolutely transparent. Menu items are messed up with the content below which is visible (like on screenshot). I never saw something like this on Catalina. Do you have the same problem??

Finder Menu Bar stays in light mode Updated to Big Sur 11.1 Noticed in dark mode the Finder menu bar at the top of the screen remains light no matter dark mode or light mode. It wasn't like this before the update. I know I can reduce transparency in Accessibility and I know this isn't really a big deal, but it is a glitch. Any ideas? Thanks!

Big Sur menu bar clock opacity I've just updated to Big Sur 11.0.1 and noticed the clock in the Menu bar is incredibly low opacity and difficult to read. Is this a bug? I've tried changing from dark to light mode, and changing my wallpaper to see if that makes a difference and nothing does.
