UI bug

Bug description

Imaging you're writing chords. You want to go to the left virtual desktop using the system keystroke (in my case Ctl + Alt + Left) to play the song to obtain a new chord. Then you go back to input these chord in Musescore, but now the focus is not in the chord but in the Musescore Menu, so you cannot edit directly again (you should press Esc in order to "escape" from the menu.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Select a note/rest
  2. Press Ctl+k to edit the chord
  3. Go to another virtual desktop using the standard keystroke
  4. Return to Musescore desktop
  5. Try to write the chord
