Description

Issue type

Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)

Description with steps to reproduce

The new behavior was introduced in 4.4.4 (#24157) and now it's half broken in master (the selection doesn't restore after navigation outside the score)

  1. Select note
  2. Deselect note with Esc
  3. Navigate with Tab outside score
  4. Press Esc - it selects the first clef instead of previously selected (and deselected) note
