Keyboard oddness - Critical #12

Description

@OoMrFlibble

Keyboard control is lost entirely if any other than the Oolite window takes focus for a moment via Aat-Tab. The only workaround seems to be to window the app, and hit the close widget.

To reproduce. Have something open, an xterm, Firefox, whatever.. Start Oolite, check keys operate menu, hit Alt-Tab to change window focus.

Using LinuxMint 21.3, XFCE4. If I use the task icons in the panel to switch, the keyboard control is OK. I can even type into another app, switch back to Oolite, and all is well. Switching back with Alt-Tab always breaks it.

Does this happen for folk with other WMs?

Not sure if it's related to #9.

Marked this as critical, as often I'll pause Oolite, and switch to another app to something IRL. Switching back to an uncontrollable game is unacceptable.
