Fixed in branch master, commit 62c0f4217c

_fix #295260: ensure focus on a scoreview after inserting symbols from a palette in text editing mode

Not focusing scoreview in this situation didn't lead to issues previously
since the old palettes weren't using keyboard navigation. New palettes
actively grab focus and handle keyboard input so setting focus to a
scoreview is required now to enable using palettes while editing a text._
