Bug Description
Sorry for the wild title.
When routing my PCBs in PCBNew, I'm experiencing loss of keyboard control frequently during routing.
This is a new thing that didn't exist till v5.1 as far as I can remember.
I don't know if there's a systematic way to make the problem arrive, but with me it usually happens when I'm routing traces (using X, V, Esc, W, N keys a lot), and all of a sudden none of the hotkeys respond anymore, and the only way for me to regain control is to use my mouse to select/deselect a tool I'm using (for example the tracing tool 'X').
Hope my jargon made sense!
