Yes, I see what you mean. There are two steps for you to take.
First, please file a bug report
at https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues. That's where
Quicksilver's coders will see it and be able to fix it. Otherwise, they'll
probably forget about it even if they read this comment thread.
Second, in the meantime, you can modify your scripts as shown below. By
telling System Events to activate and then telling the previously frontmost
application to activate, you will restore focus to the window that the
selection was grabbed from. This worked for me using a trigger with Current
Selection in its first pane and this AppleScript action in its second pane.
*using terms from* *application* "Quicksilver"
*on* *process text* theText
*my* pasteModifiedText(theText)
*end* *process text*
*end* *using terms from*
*on* pasteModifiedText(theText)
*tell* *application* "System Events" *to* *set* FrontApp *to* (name *of* (
*processes* *whose* frontmost *is* *true*)) *as* *text*
*tell* *application* "System Events" *to* *activate*
*tell* *application* FrontApp
*activate*
*set* theText *to* "{>>@vg " & theText & "<<}"
*set* OldClipboard *to* *the clipboard*
*set the clipboard to* {*text*:(theText *as* *string*), *Unicode text*:
theText}
*tell* *application* "System Events" *to* *keystroke* "v" using {*command
down*}
*set the clipboard to* OldClipboard
*end* *tell*
*end* pasteModifiedText
