Same issue on platform/linux.

This affects all items in the menubar, not only the text tools. I'd expect that the WebView gains focus after clicking any menubar item. Instead the menubar retains the focus. 4.x.x had the correct (IMHO) behaviour.

Workaround: If you have defined a special click event for a menubar item you can call win.focusOnWebView() afterwards, where win is the related BrowserWindow object.

Workaround 2: Stick to 4.2.x. ;-)

This was fixed in #20019 and works for me with Electron 5.0.11.
