There are some serious focussing issues in S1 which are really annoying. To sum up a few:

When moving notes in the piano roll, a lot of the times the view scrolls incredibly fast to a different point in the arrangement. Actually more jumping to another spot, where I lose track of where I'm at and need to zoom out and in again the know what's going on. Same 'jump' behavior is also happening in plugins, when for example I'm moving the handles in UAD Cambridge EQ or Fabfilter Q, the selected handle jumps to the left bottom out of the blue. It also happens when moving notes in Melodyne. I do not experience this in the other DAWs I use (PT12, Cubase 8, Logic X)

Opening a plugin GUI, I expect the keyboard focus to be at this very plugin. But most of the time it's not ! For example, I open Nexus, right click in the preset browser to create a search and the start typing the name to search for. But it's not typing in Nexus, but rather applying all my key strokes to the S1 shortcut system resulting in the most diverse unwanted behavior. Ranging from mutinf, soloing, deleting .... As it is unintended, it is also very hard to know what was messed up.

With this same keyboard focus problem, for example I use the arrow up/down to select another preset in the plugin. But in stead, it moves the focus of the selected track in S1 up or down, hiding the plugin and showing another plugin GUI from the selected track. This gets really annoying if you have multiple of the same VST's and notice (too late) that your editing sounds in the wrong instance.
