I've noticed something similar. If I filter for a keyword which leaves only two caches in my grid, I have three screen areas:
(1) the two lines of the grid displaying the caches
(2) the unused part of the grid
(3) the split screen
I've had several cases where I tried pressing ESC to cancel the name quick filter, but nothing happened. I figured the problem was that the split screen had the focus and clicked in the grid - and here was my mistake: I clicked in the most obvious place: the unused space of the grid. However, this seems not to give the focus to the grid, so ESC was still without effect. Only by clicking in one of the two grid lines containing data did ESC work again.
I haven't gone back to older versions to verify this, but I've only started noticing this during the last few days (or maybe two weeks max). So either I've just been lucky to never land in this situation before (which is doubtful, considering I've lately run into it often enough to notice something odd) or the behaviour has changed.
I know that there is a difference in shortcuts depending on whether the splitscreen or the grid has the focus (e.g. Ctrl-F starting IE's search feature versus Ctrl-F opening the filter dialog). However, I somehow have the impression that shortcuts that were not bound to any IE functionality in the splitscreen (such as ESC or F7) used to work no matter where the focus was.
In any case, I consider the fact that the focus is not given to the grid when the empty part of the grid is clicked to be a bug :-)
Clyde, any chance of
(1) fixing this "empty grid" not giving focus back?
(2) maybe even supporting the propagation of unused shortcuts from the splitscreen/IE to GSAK?
While I am pretty sure case (1) used to work, I am not so sure on case (2) and if Clyde tells me this has not worked before, I'd be happy to open a feature request, but will wait until we get his verdict :-)
To make a long story short: I would imagine that F7 not working has the same cause as my case where ESC didn't work.
