I'm on 12.7.6, perhaps this is associated with behavioral changes in later
macOS releases.  Do you have an example of another application you switch
to when you see this behavior?  I switch to Chrome or another Emacs session
or Terminal.app and back and I don't see the issue.  The window I last
selected remains selected and if I click in any other window, that one is
correctly selected.  I tried again both with my configuration and on master
with -Q and it seems fine.
