I'm trying to figure out why a field is losing focus and I don't know which
tools to use for the hunt.

At the very end of a mouseUp handler of a button I have this:

on mouseUp
.....
   focus on field "SearchTarget"
   put the name of the focusedObject&  cf after msg
end mouseUp

And I do see [field "SearchTarget"] in the Message box, as expected. But
then focus immediately shifts to the card.

If the button has autohilite set to true, it will remove the focus from a field when you click it. As soon as your mouseup handler ends, focus disappears. The fix it to turn off autohilite.

I find that when I mislay my spectacles almost everything loses focus; so:

on glassesOn
  set the focus of rightEye to true
  set the focus of leftEye to true
end glassesOn

generally works . . .  :)
