Zotero 8 beta: Focus does not return to center pane after closing tab

If the center pane is focused when opening a tab, closing the tab does not return focus to the center pane.

1. Select an item in the center pane.
2. Open the PDF for the selected item by hitting enter.
3. Close the tab via Ctrl+W.
4. Notice that the center pane is not focused. Rather, the New Collection button has focus:

I think previously, after closing the tab one could use the arrow keys to navigate the center pane. However, we now have to refocus the center pane before doing so.

This is using version 8.0-beta.23+58baa44ad (64-bit) on Linux.

    Here's a different way to reproduce the issue:

    1. Open a PDF in a tab.
    2. Use the keyboard ( Ctrl + Shift + tab or Ctrl + PgUp ) to navigate back to the main library tab.
    3. Notice that the New Collection button now has focus.

    I also noticed that after switching between reader tabs, one has to first click on the PDF in order to use the arrow keys to switch pages.

    This should be fixed in the latest beta — thanks.
