Version 4.3pre:
With the Hyper search bar docked to the right of the
screen. Performing a hyper search moves the focus from
the main window to the hyper search window and hides
the cursor in the main window. On using the keyboard
short-cut SHIFT+TAB the focus returns to the main
window, however the cursor doesn't reappear.

    Still occurs in jEdit 4.3pre9.
    It's not an issue when selecting a hypersearch result with the mouse.

    I found that [Shift]+[TAB] moves focus to
    [Toggle Multiple Result] button. This can be verified
    with pressing [Space] key. Then the actual problems
    are:
    1.
    Nothing shows the keyboard focus on buttons in the
    dockables. I can see a border when hovering the
    mouse cursor on these buttons. Is it possible to
    reuse the border to show the keyboard focus?
    2.
    While keyboard focus is on a dockable button, almost
    all keys work for the textArea. I think they should
    not work. Optional beep sound may help, but it is
    not required if the problem 1 is solved.

    It's still the same.

    Interesting: Although the focus is moved to the [Toggle Multiple Result] button, pressing the cursor keys UP and DOWN results in changing the active line in the text area (but the button keeps the focus).

    This seems to be dependent on which look and feel is in use. With Metal and Substance, shift-tab goes to the toggle multiple results, which is highlighted. With Nimbus, same, but no highlight. A consistent way to return to the text area from the hypersearch results using the keyboard is to assign a shortcut to HyperSearch Results (Toggle). This will hide the search results and return focus to the text area, with the cursor showing.
