    Description

      Hi all,
      Lets keep it short: ApplicationWindow and Window behaves differently regarding focus. This is not documented anywhere. I just want to say that dealing with keyboard navigation did cost us *hundreds of hours *the last 4 years (I hope you can feel our frustration), because we had to tweak it on countless places. Turns out it was so bad because we used Window and not ApplicationWindow.

      Window does not focus the last element
      Window.mp4

      ApplicationWindow does correctly focus the button again.
      ApplicationWindow.mp4
