This is the crucial bit of information. In the future, it's helpful to include
such things about the setup immediately in the bug report

AIUI the non-Folder View desktop is not a thing that can have active focus
itself. Things on it (widgets) can have focus and it's possible that nothing
has focus yet because nothing was clicked yet, but you can't give exclusive
focus to the background  - it's just a container. You gave to give active focus
to a particular thing, not a container.

This is not specific to the Folder View widget - if you place a Sticky Note on
the Desktop (non-Folder) view and click into it, the cursor (and active focus)
will be there, and clicking the empty desktop background will do nothing to
change that. Only clicking another widget will.

If this worked in the past, it's because things on it don't handle particular
keys.

That's fair, there does not seem to be a real reason not to reject the
keystrokes in the Folder View widget if type-ahead find is disabled.
