### Problem description
Hello everyone!
When you draw something if you want to use keyboard arrow keys they are not focusing to input box instead they are panning the whole drawing
For example, if you want to make 33,73 to 3,373 you can use left arrow keys on keyboard

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in the Sketcher subproject by reproducing the dynamic input box interaction with keyboard arrow keys on the reported Windows configuration. Trace how focus is handled when drawing and verify that arrow keys edit the input value rather than pan the drawing; done means the value can be changed with the arrows without unintended panning.
