Are you sure? What I see is that when focus is on the preview pane there
is no visual feedback, however the arrow keys will scroll the preview
(if it's longer than the pane of course) so I know where the focus is.
This isn't very friendly but it's not that focus isn't working, it's
that it isn't visible.

A clearer visual focus would be good.
