Bug Description
Just upgraded to 19.10 today. Previously, in 19.04, I could delete a file from the desktop by clicking on it and hitting the delete key. That no longer works.
It's probably relevant that it doesn't appear to be possible to direct keyboard focus to the desktop itself any longer. When I click on an icon on the desktop and then hit the delete key, the keystroke is sent to the window that had focus before I clicked. This appears to be true regardless of what window focus mode I'm using (Click to Focus, Focus on Hover, or Secondary-Click). Note that the description of Secondary-Click, "Window is focused when hovered with the pointer. Hovering the desktop removes focus from the previous window," does not appear to be true. When I select that focus mode and hover my mouse over the desktop I remain focused on the previously focused window.

Strangely, I am now unable to reproduce this issue. It was definitely happening before but isn't happening now. Don't know what's up.
