Bug Description

When opening KiCad, I get the file list for the current project, but I cannot use Tab to go to the list widget, so I cannot (or at least not intuitively) open an existing file without using the mouse.

I sort of fixed this in r5463. At least the tab traversal works until you open a child window (Pcbnew, Eeschema, etc.) then close it. At that point, the focus seems to get confused on windows and the tab key doesn't work as expected until KiCad looses then regains the focus. My guess is this behavior will most likely be different on Linux and OSX. Please test it when you get a chance and let me know if this works for you.

I can't even seem to get to the tree widget on OSX, Even if i click in the log text area and then tab the log text area loses focus and i am unsure as to where gets focus from there

I think this is going to have to wait on a wxWidgets update.
