Yeah, this is a known bug.

Oh, that's wierd. Pretty difficult to see though so I'm not sure I'm
going to spend much time trying to figure it out.

Well that's very weird - we only have F5 configured as a shortcut,
*except* in the main window where Ctrl+E is a shortcut to open the
query tool - but that gets ignored on Mac anyway. I can only guess
that wxWidgets is doing something odd here, but I fail to see what.

I've added that issue to the BUGS list for investigation.
