I'm not sure what you mean by "drag cursor on the old/first window 3d viewport".
Note that if a window is not active, it is normal for keyboard shortcuts not to work.
You need to activate the window first by clicking on it for the shortcuts to work.

Does what I said make sense to you?

The shortcuts will not work in either case. With ot without clicking it first. Whether the window is clicked or not and the practically the shortcut keys will not work.
The same functionality from the menu does not need a click in neither one of the windows before shortcuts work. Dragging the cursor to the window and pressing shortcut key seems to work

Does this issue happen when you drag new/old window to external monitor? I think I saw some issue like that. Also can you check if this issue is specific to Mac machines?

On 3.1.2, on my system, yes it happens when I move the new window on external monitor, working fine on 3.2
