Yes, It's exactly what happens... Key events aren't delivered to the searchbox 
widget, ControllerWindow is stealing them on their way! :D
btw, If you start typing right after clicking on "Add widgets" you can type 
one or two characters! :P 
So whats happening there? It gets keyPressEvents for a moment and then it just 
has focus and can't accept any keyboard input? (I'm really confused, does it 
mean that two widgets has focus in the same moment?)
