I guess you're trying to right-click the (oUF-) unitframe and select "focus"? There is a limitation which makes it impossible for oUF and its layouts to do so.

It *should* work, if you just type /focus.

Right, this is a problem that every unit frame addon has and needs to be fixed on Blizzard's end. As mentioned, you need to use /focus or set up a keybind in the keybindings menu.

I think it's time to get rid of that option in the menu completely.

    for k,v in pairs(UnitPopupMenus) do
      for x,y in pairs(UnitPopupMenus[k]) do
        if y == "SET_FOCUS" then
          table.remove(UnitPopupMenus[k],x)
        elseif y == "CLEAR_FOCUS" then
          table.remove(UnitPopupMenus[k],x)
        end
      end
    end

Should probably simply include that code into oUF core or something, this question was answered so many times already...

Been like this for ages, they should revamp the whole menu popup system as addons taint it and then even Blizzard own addons will not call protected functions due to past taint.

I.e. world markers popup, can't cast world markers after a while when the dropdown is tainted, bah! :P

for _, menu in pairs(UnitPopupMenus) do
    for button, name in pairs(menu) do
        if(name == 'SET_FOCUS') then
            table.remove(menu, button)
        elseif(name == 'CLEAR_FOCUS') then
            table.remove(menu, button)
        elseif(name == 'MOVE_PLAYER_FRAME') then
            table.remove(menu, button)
        elseif(name == 'MOVE_TARGET_FRAME') then
            table.remove(menu, button)
        elseif(name == 'LOCK_FOCUS_FRAME') then
            table.remove(menu, button)
        elseif(name == 'UNLOCK_FOCUS_FRAME') then
            table.remove(menu, button)
        elseif(name == 'PET_DISMISS') then
            table.remove(menu, button)
        end
    end
end
