[New input system] Gamepad input affects standalone builds which are unfocused

Package: Input System

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open attached project "InputBugRepro.zip"
2. Make sure a gamepad is connected
3. In Editor, Build&Run
4. Open two builds
5. Touch gamepad's analog stick

Expected result: only the cube on focus standalone build moves
Actual result: both builds are effected by the gamepad input

Reproducible with: 2019.3.6f1, 2020.1.0b2, 2020.2.0a3 (1.0.0-preview.1, 1.0.0-preview.6)
Could not test with: 2017.4, 2018.4 (new input system was not yet implemented)

Notes:
Does not reproduce with multiple Unity Editors
Reproduces when one Editor is opened/focused and one build is opened
Reproduces with multiple Windows desktops

  1. Resolution Note:

    As far as the input system is concerned, this works as designed. When "Run In Background" is off in the player, there's no input being received when not focused.

    However, there is some part in Unity (most likely PlayerConnection) that *overrides* "Run In Background" and *forces* it to true in development players -- but not in non-development players. This makes it appear as if the feature isn't working as intended.

    After 1.0, we'll have another look at this and se
