Apps switch focus randomly and annoyingly while typing

While I am typing on the Mac in any app (for example messenger) suddenly I think it's switching between apps because it stops from typing and I need to click again in the window in order to restart typing and this happens all over again, it’s very annoying

Does this occur for a different user, e.g., Guest ?

Does this occur after starting up in Safe Mode


Consider the possibility of a third party software conflict.  EtreCheck can be used to investigate what is installed.  Give it Full Disk Access. You can post the report here. Someone might spot something.
