Description fizulg 2018-03-18 17:48:00 CET 
Since version 0.8.7.2, specifically commit https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/commit/?id=386e42995d71149d05f232e95d175a853a2f0bf2, I can no longer reliably re-open the dropdown terminal with a hotkey (using xfce hotkey settings and "xfce4-terminal --drop-down" ) unless "keep window open when losing focus" is checked.
The previous commit, https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/commit/?id=634658a628e992e18c20c47244ad725f3c8890b8, does not have this bug and my hotkey works perfectly.

Once the dropdown has been opened and closed once, a normal keypress will result in the terminal quickly flashing open and instantly closing. The terminal can sometimes be opened by very quick key taps or quick double taps, but this is unreliable.

Comment 3 Igor editbugs 2018-03-19 14:27:11 CET 
Thank you for the report!
That commit has indeed broken the functionality, I've reverted it. Somehow the new APIs do not provide the same result as the deprecated gdk_keyboard_(un)grab().
