Problems with External PuTTY Connections finding PuTTY window

For a while now, I've had recurring problems with the PuTTY integration. When it works, PuTTY is launched and RoyalTS encapsulates it in a tab as it should. When it fails, I get a separate PuTTY window, and RoyalTS thinks the connection has failed, but the PuTTY window works fine (logs into the server and works as normal) - just not inside RoyalTS.
This problem started gradually over multiple RoyalTS versions. Now, it happens almost every time I launch an SSH session - from a connection in the document, or duplicating a tab.
This happens on multiple Linux servers - RHEL7, RHEL8, and Debian 12. Oddly, it rarely (if at all) happens on my Opnsense box (FreeBSD). (One difference I can see beyond the remote OS is that my Opnsense box is a "static" connection, where all of my other servers are in a dynamic folder.)
I am on latest RoyalTS on Windows 11. My PuTTY plugin settings are the default, except for the embed method (set to Window - I have tried Client Area with no change, and the PuTTY cursor not being focused when using Client Area is a distraction for me).
I am using the PuTTY shipped with RoyalTS. In my PuTTY session, I do not have a custom window title.
Happy to share more info or any required logs. Appreciate any insight into what is going on.
