It's to do with the custom navigation code.  Demo by commenting out line
58 in MUtil.NextActiveControl and put a breakpoint at the end of
InnerText_KeyPress (line 439?) and then run the project.  In the Horse
Code box press Enter, debug Application.ActiveControl shows that
focus(?) is on the picture box.  Do this in QT4 first. In GTK the
behaviour is harder to catch.

Both :-)  in fact this whole affair started because I have remote users
with different guis and wanted to get both of them working the same so
phone support is easier.

Cool.  Just a suggestion.
