[AP 2.1.0.1730 win] Dropdown focus problems break hotkeys workflow

[IPv6]

The problem mentioned here - https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/181539-2101706-win-dropdown-focus-problems-break-hotkeys-workflow/ - still persist in some areas. Making changes in tool toolbar breaks hotkeys until focus removed, and focus can not be removed easily. Please note that click on canvas as a way to remove focus is NOT convininent, since the very reason to use hotkeys after changing tool settings is to adjust brush to proper values. Meaning the first click will always be "wrong" and require Ctrl-Z

- Gradient tool - context and type dropdowns

- Mix tool - checkboxes "Auto load brush" and "Auto Clean Brush"

- Brush Tool - blend modes dropdown, checkboxes "Protect Alpha" and "Wet edges", checkboxes "Mirror" and "Lock"

- Erase tool - checkboxes "Mirror", "Lock", "Wet edges"

- Smudge tool - checkboxes "Mirror", "Lock", "Wet edges"

- Pen tool - checkboxes "show orientation" and "use fill" (use can not change active tool by hotkey after ticking this checkboxes)

- Pixel brush tool - blend modes dropdown, erase mode dropdown (alternate), checkboxes "Mirror", "Lock", "Protect Alpha"

- Patch tool - source dropdown, checkboxes "Selection is source", "Texture only", "Dropdown"

- Freehand selection tool - type dropdown

Hey IPv6,

Thank you very much for checking all this. I know there were a couple of areas but didn't realise the extend. I'll get this added to the report.
