fallback = VirtualDesktop.current().number
assert fallback == 1, f"Wanted 1, got {fallback}"

time.sleep(1) # Got to wait for the animation before we can return

Do you think that could be replaced with

?

And/or overload the "future method" with time.sleep(1) on unsupporting platforms?

(However, I wouldn't know how to code that 😅)

Is this a problem for normal usage? e.g. When you change desktops using go, does the focus get left behind? I remember this used to happen sometimes but seems to have been fixed on later Windows versions

No, that's not it. Switching to a new desktop, "naturally" has no window to focus.
Then, "for some reason", when coming back, there is no restored focus.

If I just switch back-and-forth from desktops that have windows, it works.

If I switch to an existing desktop that has no windows, it still works:
