Composer looses focus when using plugin-GUI in the mixer at the same time

[zth]

Steps to reproduce:

Have the mixer and the composer up at the same time. Add a plugin to the FX-track of a bus (I used Linuxdsp's VC2 compressor). Bring up the plugins native gui. Click in the composer to focus it to be able to use spacebar to start the transport. A majority of the times clicking in the composerwindow (anywhere on the canvas really) only briefly gets the composer focused so you can use spacebar to start transport. Usually it maintains focus after a few clicks, but the unfocsed-issue is very reproducable for me.

There is not much we can do about this for the moment as the plugin GUI is launched from only the mixer and therefore is parented to it. We have a plan to also place the fx and aux controls on the track header which should make the plugins parent at the Composer level at least when you launch them from the track header.
More to come on this, stay tuned.
