Resolution Note (fix version 2021.1):
This is by design. Application.isFocused and MonoBehaviour.OnApplicationFocus(bool) are true when the Game View is focused. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-isFocused.html
When clicking from the Game View to the desktop, The Game View loses focus, but it is still the primary Unity Editor tab in that window. If you then click away from the Editor and then return to the Editor by clicking on a different tab, the application will activate the primary tab and then switch to the tab you clicked on.
So in in this case, the Game View is the focused tab.
| Action | Response
|------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------
| Click Unity Editor Game View | Game View gains focus -> OnApplicationFocus(true) is called.
| Click the desktop | Game View loses focus -> OnApplicationFocus(false) is called.
| Click the Hierarchy tab | Game View regains focus -> OnApplicationFocus(true) is called.
| | Game View loses focus -> OnApplicationFocus(false) is called.
| | Hierarchy tab gains focus
| Click Unity Editor Game View | Game View gains focus -> OnApplicationFocus(true) is called.
If you click to and from the Game View repeatedly, it does not have this extra set of calls, and just calls OnApplicationFocus(true) and OnApplicationFocus(false) as expected.
