Workspaces, Stuck Cursor

While working in Workspaces, sometimes the cursor will get stuck in either the console or the code editor. This means I can't swap between editing code and running console commands. Clicking around in the other parts of the workspace does not refocus the cursor, and the only solution I found to work is to refresh the window. It seems like this enables some extra features in the console when focused like this, like tab completion, so I suspect this may be deliberate, but I can't find a hotkey list for the Workspaces editor that lists such a feature, or how to toggle it on/off. Does anyone have a solution for this? Thank you.

This also happens to me regularly using Chrome on Windows 7.

You can close the console and reopen it from View tab> Show/Hide Console. This will reload the console but it is quicker that reloading the entire workspace.

It looks like this is a long-term bug/feature which hasn't and probably won't be fixed. There are other topics relating to this from years ago.
