Afaik french officials within the EU commission tried to push french in meetings for a while after Brexit, but didnt have particular success
No, they used French as working language during their council presidency. That's all, nothing wrong with it, but some people tried to twist it into something else.

I think it's simply two different things. They wanted to keep english as an official language, but to emphasize french as working language more iirc.
