Hi,

it seems that the fix for this bug was not correct, since things have
become considerably worse since it was installed.  I observe that

- pressing F10 ESC leads to the cursor being lost
- pressing F10 -> Edit -> Paste from kill menu -> ESC leads to the
  cursor being lost and the Edit menu being highlighted.

In both cases the only way back to a sane state is to temporarily
activate the menubar with the mouse.
