Focus is lost in Text box where search text is to be entered
« on: January 22, 2007, 07:54:18 am »
When trying to enter any search text in any of the search tabs, you can only type the search text in the search box as long as the mouse pointer is over the text box. If the mouse pointer is moved at any time while you are typing the search text the focus of the cursor is lost and you have to move the mouse over the text box again in order to be able to contiue typing. I am using 0.23.2 at the time.

would like to report a little bug. When trying to enter any search text in any of the search tabs, you can only type the search text in the search box as long as the mouse pointer is over the text box.

More feature then bug  :P  Uncheck Setup->User interface->Auto focus on main control in tabs.
Very simply - ABZ ROX!

Thanks a lot, that did the trick. However I still do not see what is to be gained by leaving this option checked. :?:

Btw, I think it would be a good idea to move this thread to the help section, since it is no bug, as it turns out.

By leaving this option checked, main control (tree control) in every tab will be auto focused as you enter it with mouse cursor
