Fix a dictation shortcut sent to the wrong window

Question: fix a dictation shortcut sent to the wrong window?

Practical notes

Voice typing needs an editable text field to receive text.

A shortcut can run correctly while focus is on the wrong window or control.

Clicking the intended editor before testing separates focus errors from shortcut errors.

Application-specific behavior should be checked in the exact editor used for routine work.
