We shouldn't be working round Qt bugs.

Also..if you do that, what will happen when Qt does fix it?

That's not right.

focus does mean "become focussed".

However, it means "become focussed within the parent focus scope".

Focus Scopes are a super simple concept that are simultaneously very very very confusing, to the point that I can't explain them well.

In this case ListView is our focus scope, so we also need to make the listview focussed in order for it to have any effect.

forceActiveFocus() iterates through the tree doing that.
