[Windows] Looting screen shows incorrect item descriptions if TAB is held before loot is clicked

Not sure whether this has already been reported, although I couldn't find it in the List of Known Issues. I think this is new since the 1.3 patch, although I could be mistaken.

I'm finding that the item description displayed on the looting screen is correct (for example, might show Imoen's name instead of the quarterstaff I am hovering over). However, if I press tab AFTER the looting screen is opened, the correct item description is displayed.

To reproduce:
1. Kill a monster.
2. Press and hold TAB. Do NOT release it.
3. Click the loot dropped by the monster. Do NOT release tab.
4. Hover over some loot.

The following link contains a screenshot of the result of steps 1-4: http://i57.tinypic.com/2d2hcur.jpg

If I press tab AFTER opening the looting screen (ie. do not hold TAB when executing step #3 or release and repress TAB after executing step #3), the correct item description is displayed as in the following screenshot: http://i62.tinypic.com/vcwb60.jpg

    Woops, just noticed that there's a typo in the subject line. The subject line should read "Looting screen", not "Looking screen".

    Fixed the title.

    This looks as though it is improved in BGII:EE and should make it back to BG:EE, however I can't spot what issue has addressed it. Possibly #9435
