In System.Windows.Forms.Form the active control will receive the key events. Hence, in the above case when the canvas is active it may be receiving the KeyDown event.

To enable the form to receive the key events before the event is passed to the control that has focus, set the Form.KeyPreview property to true as explained here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.keypreview.aspx[^]
