Start with focus mode quick bar not show group. need manual select

@kingToolbox

I tested it and found no problems. Please make sure that quickbar is not set to Hide in the focuse mode dialog (MenuBar - Mode - Focuse Mode Settings). It is best to set this switch to Show, if it is set to Preserve, then the quickbar should be visible before exiting.

[kingToolbox]

I re-tested and found that there is indeed a problem with the quickbar groups display as you said, I will fix it in the next version. Thank you.
