UI bug

Bug description

For some of the navigation you can use the up/down cursor (but not all). For other navigation you can use the tab key (but not all). In Musescore 3, you could enter a new project property without leaving the keyboard. In Musecore 4, the keyboard navigation is all over the place.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open project properties
  2. Click new property (alas there is no keyboard shortcut)
  3. Here, the focus should have moved to the new property name and you should be able to type the property name but the focus is on the OK button
  4. After you have typed the property name, press TAB to move the keyboard focus to the property value
  5. Again, the focus moves to the OK button, rather than the property value.

The up/down cursor keys do move between fields but that isn't consistent
