ColorPicker
Steps to reproduce
- Start Color Picker with the default shortcut (Win Shift C).
- Click on another window to move focus there (eg. click and type "test" in a web browser address bar).
- Press the backspace key.
- Color Picker will close.
✔️ Expected Behavior
With focus on another window, pressing the backspace key should have no effect on color picker. Color picker should stay open if I'm typing in another window and press the backspace key.
❌ Actual Behavior
When a different window has focus (eg. typing in a browser address bar) pressing the backspace key will close color picker.
Also, if you typed "test" in the address bar, pressing the backspace key with color picker open has no effect in the active window — ie. the last "t" won't be deleted, and color picker closes instead. Once color picker is closed, the backspace key can be used normally in the active window.
