It's a known issue that we're trying to fix (but Apple's not making it easy). You can disable "Displays have Spaces" in Mission Control as a workaround, but we no that's not ideal for those who like this feature.

Hi Many Tricks team,  

For example if I have 2 monitors A and B.
The application window I'm switching to is in *monitor B* and it is moved 
by witch to the foreground as expected, but the focus still remains in the 
previous app in the *monitor A*, so I have to manually give it focus with 
my mouse.

Thanks,
Christian
