Keyboard "focus" loss after closing apps

Hello,

A weirdness that I've had for a long time with AS but only now thought
to report.

Sometimes when I close an application, I lose AS "keyboard focus".
That is, I have this in my feel file:

# control + arrow = 1 page
Key Left        A       C       Scroll -100 0
Key Right       A       C       Scroll +100 +0  
Key Up          A       C       Scroll +0   -100
Key Down        A       C       Scroll +0   +100

So I can easily switch the views with ctrl+arrows, without needing to
click on the pager.  I use this almost exclusively for moving around on
the desktop, the pager is just a quick way for me to see where I have
windows open.

Anyway, so when I close for example Netscape with File -> Exit, after
this my control+arrows keys don't work.  I first need to click on the
background (or anywhere else really), after that it works.  This only
happens with some applications (Netscape, Applix ...), mostly there is
no problem (eg.  xterm, aterm, xv, gimp...).


AfterStep bug?  Or what is causing this?  It's not a big problem at all,
just a small nuisance, but because 1.8 is coming out soon (?) I though
I'd report this.


Regards,
Mikko
