Hi All, 

Current behavior after header footer delete, either accepted or declined, is
that focus is on the header footer window/button. To see this select Delete
Header... from the popup menu and either accept or decline the delete then
press alt+down arrow or the space or enter key. The popup menu appears. This
isn't bad if delete was declined but if delete was accepted the popup menu
should not be shown.

Here is a patch that places focus to the main document when delete is accepted
and to the header or footer edit window when delete is declined [1]. This
eliminates the chance for the popup menu being activated after delete is
accepted. 

An option would be to add key input handling for Header/Footer (Default Style)
+ button to provide the same action taken when the mouse is clicked. In other
words add the Header/Footer edit window when alt+down arrow, or the space or
enter key is pressed and focus is on the header footer button. Esc could be
used to move to the Header/Footer edit window or back to the main document
depending on the state of the header footer.

There seems much opportunity for bug fixing in Header Footer :-)
