Public bug reported:

Observed on upgrading to disco-proposed today...

When launching an app from the dock or from the applications grid (so i
believe it's a gnome-shell thing rather than a dock thing), the app
opens, but does not get the input focus. You have to either click in the
window, or clicking again on the icon of the running app in the dock
works, to give it focus. An extra step my muscle memory isn't prepared
for!

It seems like the sort of thing that might be an option rather than a
bug, but if so, changing this behaviour back to its previous default is
not at all obvious (I haven't found a way). So guessing it is a bug. NB:
After launching an app this way, *no* window has focus. It is lost by
the app that had it before, but not given to the newly started app.
