Text entry randomly losing focus shortly after gaining it

It's hard to give specific repro instructions, but often I'll press N for example to move the focus to the text entry, type a letter or two, and out of nowhere the focus jumps back to the list. Huge showstopper, makes this otherwise great app nearly useless.

Hi Nicolas, Do you have "Move focus to task list after creating a new task" enabled in the options? Cheers, Ben

It's been a few years now, but I can provide a more deterministic repro:

1. Ensure "Options > Automatically refresh task from file" is selected, "Move focus to task list after creating a new task" is not selected
2. Press "N" to move focus to text entry
3. Type a task and hit enter. (The focus remains in the text entry.)
4. Wait two seconds.
   Expected: The focus stays in the text entry
   Actual: The focus jumps back to the list

Workaround: When "Automatically refresh task from file" is deselected, the focus stays in the text entry as anticipated. I'm guessing the file refresh event is what causes the focus to jump.
