When a new window is open, focus still remains on previously focused window

[garyking]

Issue Type: Bug

1. Have a VSC window already open and in focus.
2. Open a VSC workspace file.
3. While the workspace is loading, press Cmd-N to open a few tabs in the new workspace. The tabs will not appear in the new window, and will in fact appear in the previously focused window.

This occurs for all keyboard shortcuts, such as Cmd-W, which would close tabs in the previous window. Mouse commands like double-clicking on an empty space to create a new tab are not affected by this bug. This bug started happening with VSC 1.67.0 from a few days ago. Already tested with all extensions disabled.

Example as seen below, where I have a workspace opened (Finder), then open another one (Streaks), hit Cmd-N a few times, return back to first workspace (Finder), and see the tabs there rather than the new workspace.

Okay so it's a bit more clear as to what's happening. When I open a workspace in VSC, the window opens and is at the front, but focus remains on the previous window, which I can tell because the top-left corner buttons of the window on Mac are greyed out, rather than colored Red, Yellow, Green.

Screenshot of how the top-left corner of a new workspace window looks when opened in VSC:

To further simplify the issue, when I go to File > New Window in VSC, the new window is not focused.

Do you have "window.newWindowDimensions": "maximized" configured?

Yes, I have this issue and have this "window.newWindowDimensions": "maximized" as configuration
