Tested on (OS): 

Apple M2 Max MacBook Pro (32GB system memory, 12 core CPU) running macOS 15.1

Notes:

• This can impact users who might need to test if the Editor is unfocused
• The workaround is for users to select another part of the Editor's UI before entering play mode - e.g focusing the Inspector
• This is a bug, as per UUM-74498
