bug: mouse focus is moved position when changing workspace

The issue names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the steps: hover the activities button, then scroll to switch workspaces with windows open, and check whether the pointer jumps. The journal shows meta_window_set_stack_position_no_sync assertion failures during that session, which may be related. Done means the pointer stays put after a workspace switch, confirmed by the same steps. The issue is over two years old with no assignee or linked pull request, so confirm with maintainers before starting.

(1) Issue/Bug Description/Video Capture/Screenshots

If there are windows in the workspace, when changing workspace using the mouse and scrolling through the activities button, the mouse focus changes position.
Screencast from 2024-04-05 09-19-01.webm

(2) Steps to reproduce

1. Hover over the activities button
2. Use the mouse scroll button to change workspace
