Hello, Clayton.

I think this is a Windows behavior. Most surely, launching the form trough clicking somehow leaves the top-level form as the focus application, while doing it by keyboard not.

I personally try to avoid mixing up top-level and desktop component as they are quite different beasts. If you have the menu on a top-level form, and not the desktop, then maybe you can solve the problem setting the second form as In-Top-Level form (not AT-top), then it would be a child of the main one.

I hope to be helpful. Ignore me if not.
