I think that reply from last Saturday on the mailing list from Andrea
explains the issue:

Jan also had few remarks on IRC (partially overlapping with the above):

> jackdaniel if anyone feels like debugging why commands are disabled in a definition which looks fine at the first glance please take a look at https://mailman.common-lisp.net/pipermail/mcclim-devel/2019-October/002129.html

Best regards,
Daniel
