Viewer window doesn't stay on top

Hello, I've been just recently using and testing your image viewer and while so far it seems to have It all, I noticed a strange behavior. Upon opening video files, the program goes in the background, meaning I can't use any shortcuts like escape to close It or scroll to view next file. I have to click the window or alt-tab to it to bring it to the front. It doesn't minimize, just that it's not on top. Can this be fixed somehow? Couldn't find in settings. 10x

First and foremost, XnView is an amazing application. Thanks for all your time and effort in creating this work of art.
I have a similar focus issue running XnView MP on Manjaro Linux (Gnome 3.32.2).
When I'm in viewer mode browsing through photos, the app will somehow lose focus (randomly, it seems). I can still use the left and right arrows to browse the photos, but none of the other keyboard shortcuts (including ESC) will work. If I alt+tab to a different app and then alt+tab back, the shortcuts work again. Or, if I click on the photo the shortcuts will work again.
It must be a Manjaro/Gnome issue, as I don't have this problem on Ubuntu 16.04 running Unity.
Any ideas?
Is this related to this bug?

It happens to me if I am in fullscreen and normal viewing mode.
