Focusing out/into VisualStudio changes the default focused element on the UI

[migueldeicaza]

Repro steps

Make sure you have a second app running, like a browser that can be tabbed into
Make sure the text editor is open and focused, type "class Foo"
Press Command-Tab to switch focus from the IDE to the browser
Press Command-Tab to switch back to the IDE
Attempt to type: you will notice that the editor is no longer focused, and the input goes somewhere else.

Scenario

This happens a lot when I am porting code, and I have to switch from VSMac to other tools (Safari, Emacs, Terminal).

I provided an attachment (large) for internal use on an older version of this bug (as I think I did not file it properly):

VS bug #754535

Attached miguel's screen recording from the other bug to the automated one, and removed the link from the description (for people who want the old one, here it is https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/DevDiv/_workitems/edit/753804)

[Therzok]

Doing some investigations:

• When the app focuses back in: MonoDevelop.SourceEditor.QuickTasks.QuickTaskOverviewMode is the focused widget
• just pressing tab after the focus is in, we cycle through the top bar items (run button, statusbar, etc)

Seems related to a11y. cc @mkrueger @iainx

It's not just an editor problem, I can see it exhibit in the solution pad and treeview too.
