Thanks Yeti,
I used g_signal_connect_after for the menu activate event for all menu items
with actions. It did not make any difference.
I can force focus from a dialog to the top window by gtk_window_present
((GtkWindow *)window ), but gtk_window_present ((GtkWindow *)dlg) does not work
the other way around.
Is there a way to force focus from top window to a dialog by the program?
I think there ought to be.

It is probably too early to move the focus, the menu will eat it again.
If you connect-after now and it does not help, moving the textview
operation to an idle function should help.
