Running 19.08 in background mode, pressing the keyboard shortcut to open the window and immediately typing does not result in text appearing in the terminal. I have to either click the window with the mouse or alt-tab to another window and back before konsole recognizes keyboard input. This bug did not occur in 19.04.
