Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that after the last update, see Wish List-Skipping Data Fields, the cursor does not return to the call input field after a contact is logged?

Contest Window Cursor
Hi!
Some problem to catch " Wish List-Skipping Data Fields" but I guess:
When you check checkboxes or change "MSG is" from list cursor does not return to call input.
If I am right, and we are talking about Contest window, should it do so ?
Cheking the checkboxes or making a selection from "MSG is" is preparing for contest, not the normal action when feeding qsos to log.
But if I guessed wrong " Wish List-Skipping Data Fields" please advice me !

Saku--In the Contest Window after selecting the contest and selecting the correct "MSG is" you are ready to start adding contacts. After adding a call into the Call window and tabbing through the rest of the windows adding information and pressing ENTER to save the contact the cursor does not return to the Call window in the Contest Window. You now need to use your mouse to place the cursor back into the Call window.
From the updated Help Files:
There is no need to use the mouse. Keep your hands on keyboard (and possible on CW key / PTT (if not foot pedal in use)). It is faster.
Maybe this is just my problem and caused by something I did while updating CQRlog.

Hi Peter!
Tested just with my laptop Fedora 35/LXDE and also RPI 4/Buster.
With both, after pressing enter, it takes small time when qso is written to log and then contest window comes active again and cursor is back in callsign field.
Fedora has my 2.5.2(117) version and RPi has the official version of cqrlog.
So I can not see that.

My OS: NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
I just checked the Contest Window again and after entering a contact the cursor is placed in the Call area in the new QSO window of the New QSO window not the contest window.
Guess I'll just have to live with it however if you would like to access my system and see for yourself we can set something up for later today. If so please email me at nn9k.peter@gamail.com. I will be away from home until 1900UTC today.
Thank you.
