Describe the bug I wrote a match using the choice extension and trigger it in the input box in a web browser ( I have two windows of the browser).

The choice widget showed up, I made the selection but espanso just the other window, not the one I triggered it to input the results.

If I remove the second window and only working in one single window, espanso works fine.

However, I usually need two browser windows on the screens, run jupyter notebook in one and open web pages in another for reference.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

open two chrome windows, trigger a choice match in one and see how espanso works.

Expected behavior

espanso should stay in the same window to do the work.
