Michael,

I contacted Fabian. He is happy that VB will handle focus in a more robust 
fashion. He has already changed the Qt timer to 100 ms and pushed the updated 
code to qtbase upstream where it will be part of 5.13.1, but he thinks both 
solutions are better than either one alone. I have patched VB 6.0.8 locally and 
pushed it, and I will look for the change in 6.0.10.

Thanks for your efforts in fixing this problem.

Larry
