Deleting tasks steals focus from "new task" input field

[schmittlauch]

How to reproduce:

1. start typing in a new task to add.
2. delete an existing task
3. wait for the remorse timer to finish

Expected behaviour: focus should stay where it is - in the input field
Actual behaviour: input field looses focus

Well there is a problem regarding the expected behaviour. The focus is being stolen by the item list after every change on the list. After adding a new task I'm forcing in a very bad hack the focus to the text field again.
But if a user only wants to delete a task the focus shouldn't always being forced back to the text field. Afterwards the keyboard will be opened and only half of the tasks would be visible. This could get quite annoying I think.

I'll have look over the focus issue soon. Maybe I have an idea how to fix this. Could have something todo with this: https://github.com/Armadill0/harbour-tasklist/blob/master/qml/pages/TaskPage.qml#L278

I'm really new to Qt and QML, but wouldn't it be possible to look whether the input field had focus before and only forcing it back if that was the case?

It would maybe possible if you catch every onFocusChanged event (I assume there is such an event for each item) and run a global function which saves the last focused object in a global variable or something like that.
