It is standard behaviour; the same is true in FM 7 or Word, and most 
other programs.  It's just a little confusing in FM 9/10 because these 
pod-thingys don't look like regular dialog boxes.  But in most programs, 
when a dialog is open, shortcuts only work in the context of that dialog.

My thanks to the earlier poster who mentioned Shift + F7 to put the 
focus back in the document -- that means MANY fewer time-sucking 
mouse-clicks I'll have to use!
