    Keystrokes in dispatcher window going to player window as well

    This is for v08

    I'm running a player train while also running the dispatcher window.... I just noticed that any keystrokes made in the dispatcher window are being sent to the player.

    Examples...

    1) Used the arrow keys to zoom in/out of the Dispatcher, and on the player window, the camera was moving around. (unexpected)
    2) Typed in a value for the resolution, backspaced, and my train in the player window went into emergency braking. (quite unexpected)
    3) Used arrow keys in the player window, which had no effect on the dispatcher window... (expected response)

    When I spawned separate instances, keystrokes sent in Instance 1 did not cross over to Instance 2 (expected).

    This is a known issue (or feature) and the suggestion is to use mouse to manipulate the dispatcher window, unless use it to type text message in the MP mode (keys are masked out in the main game window then).

    The reason to leave it this way is that one may want to control the train while watching the dispatcher window.
