Hi José,

I would like tor reply to the first annoyance you are experiencing.
There are already bug reports on the focus and shortcut issue (where the
latter is probably related to the focus issue). Interestingly you are
also using qt5.13.x which is the case on many (all?) systems where the
issues came up.

If you are able to robustly reproduce the lost of focus, please add a
comment to the related bug reports

   1. Focus: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57635
   2. Shortcuts: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57969
