I'm also running Windows (2.2.9 svn) and for it works like it should.
The small box appears and I can type in it. The corresponding account
 gets selected. Esc leaves the box immediately.
If no account is selected, this procedure will not work, unless the tab-key
is used to select the tree widget.

See above.

Maybe we should honour key press events also for the other three(?) widgets,
which can get the focus.
