Working on a file in code view.
Hit cmd+s to save
Hit shift+cmd+u to upload changes
Once uploaded, code view of file is deselected. If I click once, the cursor shows up, but anything I type doesn't affect any change in the code. In order to continue editing the file, I have to click again on the code and then the cursor begins blinking and I can edit my code. This also occurs if I select a portion of the code. It will highlight, but I cannot edit it until it has been clicked on again.
This interrupts my workflow because I'm very used to clicking once to begin editing a file and at times I'll quickly notice a change, click once and begin trying to delete the code at the cursor, or some code I've selected. This brings up a prompt asking if I want to delete the selected file in the files window, or it will inform me that I cannot delete the root folder of my site. This is disconcerting, even to someone like me who creates backups before they start making edits.
I also verified that this only occurs in code view, in design view, I only have to click once to return to editing.

The 'focus' within the application has been a known issue with 12.0 and 12.1 builds of DW.
The focus is held with the last used panel within the app - for instance, Shift + Cmd + U (upload files) enables the 'Files' panel, hence leaving focus there after your upload command has been executed.
