Bug Description

When deskbar's appearance is set as a button, hitting the hotkey focuses is whereas hitting it a second time unfocuses deskbar and returns focus to the previously active window.

But if its set as a text field, hitting hotkey for a second time does NOT unfocus deskbar, as it should.

Upstream comment:
"There is no way to 'unfocus' a widget. The window manager handle this for us.
In button mode it gets unfocused because the focused window disappears so the
WM puts the focus into the 'next' application having a focus capability. When
in text mode this is deskbar's textfield..

Sorry.."
