Loss of focus after unselecting a selected pill with Ctrl+Click. Focus must remain on the Ctrl-clicked pill. Loss of focus then prevents any further keyboard action on (selected/other) pills.

Severity: -- → normal

The fix.

Not sure about the original purpose of pill.blur here?

From my analysis, (after this bug) the whole conditional was no longer needed (noop) , because we can't blur a pill which we know has focus either from mouse click (checkSelected claims to handle mouse events only) or from pressing " " on an already focused pill. Focus is already there (no need to focus), and it must stay right there (no need to blur).

That blur/focus condition was implemented right at the beginning, when tho whole focus/selected paradigm wasn't properly fledged out.
You improved this part a lot, so that old condition was interfering.
Good catch, thanks for fixing this.
