Auto selecting after Big Sur update

After updating to big sur I've noticed that there are some cases where ui elements get automatically selected (focused?) in my MacCatalyst app. This is problematic for me in a couple of cases where there is app logic that gets triggered when a textview is initially selected and calls "didBeginEditing".

The two areas where it seems prevalent are: dismissing modal views and reloading tables.

I've poked around into the focus engine and tried to extend textviews to not be focusable to no avail. Anyone else seeing this problem?
Yes I'm seeing this also. Just posted a similar question. This kind of stuff seems to be even worse in my SwiftUI apps. Would love an explanation.
