The screenshots before and after clicking the "send" button (which triggers a commit) are shown here:

This is normal. To say that the text field has lost focus is missing the point. It is no longer the first responder and therefore no longer displays the focus rect. Searching the docs for "focus" won't help. firstResponder will.

If "send" is clicked then it is important that any edits to the stage command field are committed, but I think it would make more sense if ongoing edits to the "stage limits" fields are NOT committed if "send" is clicked (they are completely irrelevant). n.b. the window does not close when "send" is clicked. Is there any way of achieving this?

This sounds confusing. Anyhow, its totally up to you whether a pending edit is committed or not. EIther do or don't send commitEditing to the controller dependent on which object is first responder.
