There was a bug in wine/proton applications where it would sometimes
refuse to take focus until you explicitly click it, e.g changing tags
back and forth.
(Reported here also:
https://old.reddit.com/r/suckless/comments/1msx6pa/dwmhow_to_handle_wine_apps_focus/)
Someone recently informed me that this patch actually ends up fixing
that bug too, even though that was not what the original fix was
intended for.
My guess is that wine refuses to take focus unless the window is also
active. Now that we properly set _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW it takes focus as
expected without needing explicit click. Just my guess though, didn't
confirm.
So the patch seems to be good. Just documenting the bonus side-effect
fix here for archival/informational purposes.
