PowerToys run and Windows ease of use

[MartinAskestad]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.80.1

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update, Scoop

Running as admin

No

Area(s) with issue?

PowerToys Run

Steps to reproduce

In Windows control panel, go to Ease of Access, Change how your mouse works, click the checkbox Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse. Click OK.

Activate PowerToys Run, type something to search.

I realize this is a bit of an edge case

✔️ Expected Behavior

If I search for something that yields only one answer, for example type a math query and you get one line with the answer to your math query.

❌ Actual Behavior

When the PowerToys Run window resizes to something smaller than the initial window size it will close because Windows believes that you are focusing whatever window was behind the Run window.
