This issue is back for me with the most recent update (6.10.3.6921 (306921) Public). Unchecking "Set new note focus to title" seems to fix it as before but it is really annoying with how I use Evernote. Please fix again.
Also, I still can't figure out how to get a new note created with the Global hotkey to appear in the foreground. That was fixed at the same time this issue was fixed last time but both seem broken again. Not sure if related.
Thanks!
