# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Desktop focus misdirected after computer_use approval

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

When a per-action approval card appears during computer_use, focus is stolen and subsequent keyboard input lands in the chat composer instead of the intended target. A fix returns focus to the previously active pane after approval.
