The motivation for this change was, that I've seen a similar bug on native-windows without monocle.
In this case a leak happened related to the focusedWindow variable.
Sadly I don't have a test for this bug, because it is undeterministic.
For that reason, I thought it would make sense to keep this change, because I think it fixes it.
If I remember correctly, it was related to Stages which were focused but closed at the same time, which only weren't
collected because of the focusedWindow variable. Because the variable also isn't used on NativeWindows it doesn't seem
to do much harm.
I've now removed it, but it might be considered to be readded.
