That recalls me similar bug under Windows (I suspect it is regression 
because long time ago when I coded OnMinimize/OnMaximize events it was 
working well) - if you show modally dialog or form and close it focus is 
not returned to previous one (even if it's main form), so working using 
keyboard is very difficult now.
