I did some further debugging on this: So if i explicitly set
plasmoid.status to
AcceptingInputStatus when my editfield get focus the
PanelView::statusChanged() called,
hence the  KWindowSystem::forceActiveWindow is called as well, but the
field on the panel still doesn't accept keyboard input. What could be
the next step to debug this?
