Keyboard shortcuts stop working after opening toolwindow from infobar

[sboulema]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Nuget Monitor tool window
2. Dock it as tabbed document
3. Get the info bar for outdated packages to appear
4. Click Manage
5. Tool window will be focused as document tab

Bug:
Keyboard shortcuts do not work anymore. Ctrl + Space, Ctrl + B, etc...
Like something is taking focus and catching keyboard events.

Workaround:
For some reason not automatically closing the infobar prevents the bug from happening.

Tried a lot of messing with UI threads and KeyDown event handlers but unable to fix it, so quick and dirty fix is to add an option to not close the infobar.

Interesting to note, keyboard shortcuts keep working if the tool window is floating or docked.

I have experienced this behavior in various contexts, this is not a specific issue of this extension, it's a general VS problem (or even maybe Windows?), however I never could associate it with a specific action, so I never knew how to report this.

Now that you found a reproducible way, it's a chance to report this as a Visual Studio issue to Microsoft.

P.S. There is a simple fix: hit the alt key some times, then it's working again.
