wxWidgets not initialized properly on macOS causing unfocusable window #2102
Description
On macOS (15.7.1), the app does not show an icon in the dock, and the window opens in the background. When trying to select it via Mission Control, it cannot be focused. It seems this issue is due to wxEntry not being called in initialization. When initializing the standard way, it works as expected, eg:
