Sorry for the long description but it accurately describes the situation.

With a DOM open (in my case this is chart #3):

1. Assign a keyboard shortcut to the Goto Chart Number menu item (in my case, CONTROL-ALT-SHIFT-G)
2. Create a floating control bar with some function on it (in my case, Hide Pending Attached Orders)
3. Click the control bar button so that the control bar is clearly in focus.
4. Press the keyboard shortcut in step 1
5. Type the number of the DOM chart (in my case 3) and hit Enter to accept.
6. Notice that the chart in question is not actually in focus. You can clearly see the title bar does not have focus. This will cause any keyboard shortcuts pressed for executing a trade, to fail. The chart in question must be manually selected with the mouse.

This does not happen if you select Goto Chart Number from the menu with the mouse. It only happens if selected via keyboard shortcut.

Let me know if you have any questions on reproducing this... thanks!

Well we reviewed the code and made a couple of minor changes/additions. And we tested this and cannot reproduce. So wait until the next release.
