Comment(by erikos):

 This is because the Palettes in the Views are a GTK.Menu which do grab
 focus when they are up.

 There is an effort to do a
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Grab_override grab override] "to
 allow clients to intercept key or button events even if there is an
 existing device grab". But this won't land in time.

 I will try to use our custom Palette in the Views and see how that goes.
 #4038 is effected by this as well, #4001 also.
