Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use the sample application provided
2. Click "Test Text Input" and try to type or event "tab" around, notice that user interaction is properly disabled.
3. Click one of the other buttons. The application is disabled, but focus is still drawn to the corresponding component, and user interaction is allowed – including tabbing between editable columns/rows.

Note: Application will re-enable itself after 5 seconds.

Actual Results:

Expected Results:

Micromanaging the enabled state on each list-based component, setting to false where needed.
