Move focus back to Obsidian.

This line seems suspect, and matches the approximate time of the freeze that I see

I can second that. Yesterday everything worked as always :-). But then (I believe after auto-updating this morning), the same behavior as described 5s freezes when focusing or changing files.
I also tried to look into the dev console, but nothing is reporting. Continuing to investigate
I ran the chrome profiler, and one can see that it is stuck for 4s.
It is in the function:
requestUpdateLayout()
Hard to give more info as it is obfuscated.
I also added the profiler files such that one can look at them. As you will notice, my vault is tiny (10 files). So vault size should not be the issue. I also deactivated any cloud sync that was happening in this folder.
Fresh install on a brand new M1 Pro, whenever I do anything to do with windows/files, even just switching from one open window back into Obsidian, Obsidian will freeze for a good 5 or so seconds before becoming interactable again.
Here’s a short clip of it happening (note: the video didn’t capture the beach ball that would show up as soon as I’d click on any of the files). It would fully prevent any interaction with Obsidian, including scrolling, clicks or text editing (as you can see I was spamming text but it didn’t show up until it unfroze).
Sorry for the terrible quality, giphy absolutely murdered the video quality there but you can still see what’s going on

I’m getting a similar issue on Windows 11. When I switch tasks to Obsidian, it often remains stuck for a few seconds. I can start writing, but nothing shows up on the screen, and after a few seconds what I have written appears. It doesn’t seem to happen every single time, just quite often. I’m not sure under what circumstances it happens. (Obsidian v1.1.14)
