I got it to work with shift-command #. The loss of doc window focus is much worse in Fin14.5 than prior versions. There is a way to get back to the behavior of prior versions, but it has a cost. I'm guessing you have more than one monitor. If you go to System Preferences->Mission Control there is an option called "Displays Have Separate Spaces". If you check that option (and log out and back in), the focus problem will be back to the behavior of Fin14d and earlier.
However, I despise that option. It puts a menu bar on every monitor and makes it impossible to spread a window across multiiple monitors. I would rather cope with the focus issues. Believe me, Makemusic is well aware of this problem.
