auto quit edit mode after back from visiting other tabs

[immorBen]

Problem: I have to re-click the cell into edit mode after back from visiting other chrome tabs, do we have the workflow that:

• coding in the cell, (need to search something...)
• go to a new tab
• got the search result
• back to Jupyterlab and continue editing... but now I have to use the mouse and re-select the cell I edited just seconds ago, can we have the cursor stay at the cell?

environments:
JupyterLab v3.4.2
@krassowski/jupyterlab-lsp v3.10.1 enabled OK (python, jupyterlab-lsp)
@jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager v3.0.0 enabled OK (python, jupyterlab_widgets)

Appreciate any helps~

We cannot reproduce this bug by switching browser tabs (e.g., from the JupyterLab tab in Chrome to a Google search engine tab in Chrome). When switching from one JupyterLab tab to another, then back, the previously-active cell remains active, but not in edit mode; pressing ENTER re-enables edit mode.

I'm closing this out as part of our weekly triage process because I was unable to reproduce the bug as you filed it. If you have another reproduction process, please reopen your issue. Thank you for your contribution to Project Jupyter!
