Summary
I was playing a different game with Fortnite open in the background. When I tabbed back into Fortnite it was on the shop page about to purchase the crew pass. It also has happened with UEFN as well. I will be tabbed into Fortnite testing a map, then I’ll tab back into UEFN and it will have a button highlighted like it was detecting the input without being focused. This is very dangerous for a number of reasons.

Additional Notes
This is especially scary because when I tabbed back in, I was on the page to purchase the crew pass. What if I deleted friends? What if I sent them an invite and they were just sitting in my lobby? What if I refunded something special that I bought? What if I started a bunch of ranked lobbies that ruined my ranking?
Even worse is the what ifs for UEFN. Could ruin someone’s revision, or worse the whole project in some cases.
