Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue using Song-Editor and Piano-Roll: open a track from Song-Editor, close Piano-Roll, then test keyboard playback controls. Trace the focus handling between these two editor windows; done means focus returns to Song-Editor so Stop and Play work without another click.
