Main menu gets activated and stays activated if I switch away from NB with Alt-Tab if I hit Alt and Tab quickly enough in the right cadence. Then when I switch window focus back to NB (doesn't matter whether with Alt-Tab or by activating the window on the taskbar), my keyboard focus is on the main menu instead of where I was in my typing, so to continue my typing first I need to unfocus the main menu (e.g. by hitting Esc or Alt or by clicking with the mouse). Minor annoyance (easy to work around, no major side effects) but happens often for me.

I'm encountering similar issue. When I'm in the text editor and switch from NB to another non-NB window and back, the text editor lost its focus and therefore I'm forced to click there. Interestingly enough, it makes absolutely no difference if switching fast or slow between NB and non-NB windows. This is really annoying behavior because I'm switching between windows quite often. Another interesting fact is I'm using NB 7.4 under Linux.

(In reply to dumblob from comment #2) I'd like to apologize for mystification. The actual problem is that after switching between NB and non-NB windows, NB jVi plugin can't switch between tabs using gt gT shortcuts (they cause NB window focus loss instead), but text editor does have focus (and I can write in without any problems). I'm not sure if this is jVis or NBs failure. It seems like some state-desynchronization between NB and jVi.
