I finally figured it out!
When you press on an element in a component you don't call setFocus,
but pressFocus() instead! And don't forget the releaseFocus() as well.
This sets a fake focus on component and a true focus on the element so
that you're still able to interact with the element.
Man that was a tough problem with almost no information about it anywhere.
If anyone is looking for more info on the subject, see UIComponent's methods:
. setFocus()
. getFocus()
. pressFocus()
. releaseFocus()
. onSetFocus(oldFocus)
. onKillFocus(newFocus)
