Bogdan asked me to take a look at this one.

- Open several editors
- From one of the editors, use Ctrl+Shift+Tab to put focus in the tab
- now use a cursor key to cursor to another tab
- when the part you are cursoring to becomes active, it steals focus from the tab.

The net effect is that if you are trying to use the keyboard to traverse between parts in a stack, you can only get to the adjacent stack before focus is lost.

Bogdan is suspicious of the StackRenderer.hookControllerLogic method, which is activating the part (and possibly causing focus to go back to the part?)

I can investigate this one, but any words of wisdom from Eric appreciated.
