I use a couple of AU plugins and I enable real time modifications, so there are two plugin windows plus the main window on screen. The problem is between every track, the plugin windows close then reopen and steal the focus away from the main window. Actually, I’m not sure where the focus goes; I only know I have to click once to bring the focus back to the main window. So it always takes two clicks to do what I want.
Seems like it’d be good to move the focus back to the main window automatically. Or at least have it as an option.

I figured out the specifics of this bug. It happens with playlists created in Tidal and not with, for example, local tracks. Steps to reproduce:
In Tidal app for Mac, pick any song, then use … menu to go to track radio.
In track radio, use … menu to add to playlist. Create new playlist. (Note: I need to do this because track/artist radio isn’t supported in Audirvana)
In audirvana, add any plug in, e.g., Effects - Apple AUGraphicsEQ. Enable real time control and use new AU hosting API
In audirvana, find playlist created in 2) under My Music > My Playlists. (You may need to restart audirvana.) Play a track. You’ll see that the focus moves away from the main window, even after you’ve moved the plugin window away from the main window.
I think I see what’s happening. It’s not local vs Tidal tracks; it’s actually the change in sampling rate. When switching between tracks with different spl rates, the plugin window is closed then reopened, moving the focus away from the main window.
Notes:
by “switching between tracks”, I mean hovering the mouse over the track then clicking the play button that overlays the track thumbnail icon.
Earlier, I misattributed this behavior to local vs tidal playlist because my local tracks are pretty uniform in spl rate, but I can reproduce the behavior simply by finding a track with different spl rate.
Even with the main window not focused, clicking once on other parts of the main window UI, such as next / prev / track bar / volume bar still works. It’s only switching tracks (see note 1) that requires clicking twice.
