Applying Paragraph Tags with F9 Not Working in Frame 10

Wouldn't it make sense for the focus be on whatever window your cursor is
over, rather than having to click in something. That's the way I remember
UNIX being. (Which took some getting used to, BTW.) But that was a *VERY*
keyboard shortcut friendly OS.

Hi all,

The new interface of FM-9 ad FM-10 is the reason for this 'unreliable
behaviour':
If the focus in not the document (and you loose it very often!), then F8,
F9, CTRL-8 ... do not 
behave. This happens for example if you have changed the zoom factor and not
yet clicked again within 
the document and want to apply a ¶ format.

The new UI is not at all keyboard friendly - it's calling for much mouse
work. Changing the zoom 
factor by means of an ESC sequence does not change the focus and hence the
shortcuts still work.

I have reported this during the FM-10 beta testing, but is was not fixed
even in the newest update 
10.0.2
And yes, there is an additional top 'selection' "Not applicable" in the
format drop down list which 
forces us to tap 'Arrow down' for applying the default format.
