[External] : Re: MacOS windowDidBecomeKey inconsistency

I ran the version of your fix+test from before yesterday's fix. It fails 
on most of the systems (meaning the window was activated), but passes 
unexpectedly on two of them, one Intel and one M2:

Local systems:

Intel MacBook macOS 13.6.3 -- test failed
M1 MacBook macOS 14.2.1 -- test failed

Jenkins CI systems:

Intel MacBook macOS 13.x -- test failed
Intel MacBook macOS 14.1 (*) -- test PASSED
M2 MacBook macOS 13.x -- test failed
M2 MacBook macOS 14.0 (*) -- test PASSED

(*) Note the downrev version of Sonoma

We know that Apple has fixed several OS bugs in 14.2, so I am going to 
get our lab systems updated to that version (I thought they were already 
running 14.2[.1] and don't want to be chasing down problems that turn 
out to be related to running an older version than expected). In the 
mean time, can you check the versions of the OS on your M1 and M2 systems?
