Two ways occurred to me to work around the hide/show and focus issues -
one was the "workaround" of using a timeout, the other was the more
stylish overriding  of the handle method - I tried to show both
approaches in the example, but in principle (I didn't try) it should be
possible to fix it all "nicely" using the overridden handle method
approach.

I don't know - I hadn't seen that before. Probably best if you file an
STR on this just to make sure it is picked up. BTW, when I do this, the
first time I press ESC, the last deleted character re-appears, the
second press of ESC closes the window normally, not quite the same
effect. Very odd.
