Comment 7 for bug 168161

It looks like it does, at least on SVN 20070104 build. The widget disappears, but you still can't focus any window (Inkspace or otherwise) on the workspace. Widgets inside the Inkscape window, as well as the canvas, are still responsive, which is kinda odd. The only way to make the font selection widget 'let go' is to reopen the widget, then close it with the drop-down button. Trying to close it by selecting a font doesn't work; it changes the font of the currently selected text, but doesn't make the widget disappear or relinquish control. I've observed the same behaviour for both Enter and Esc.
