200401141900, jdk1.4.2 -open Properties, select last property in Properties window -press 'TAB' -you move from last row in Properties to Explorer -you can move in Explorer tree -WS thinks that focus is still in Properties window -> PW is still selected, and PW doesnt refresh when you are moving in Explorer
Is it selected or compact mode?
Tim, I was told you are requesting focus for some component which makes this issue. Please, don't do that. Winsys doesn't listen on focus changes and you cannot change the activated component that way. To control winsys is possible only thru its API... use TC.requestActive().
Okay. But I'm curious how you handle Ctrl-Tab for moving between components - this is the equivalent, it just allows tabbing from the last property to tab into the next component, so however that works, this should work the same way. Basically there is special Tab handling in the property sheet because: - Tab should not switch between selected cells because we don't show any cell selection, only row selection - having the name of a property selected doesn't mean anything, it would just mean that every second time the user presses tab it looks like nothing happens - Tab normally just cycles through the rows; for the property sheet, tabbing/shift-tabbing on the first/last property will transfer focus up/downward as defined by the parent FocusTraversalPolicy
Just needs a 1-line fix in the property sheet to keep focus in the table if the top level ancestor is not a dialog.
Fixed on my laptop, will commit later today.
Fixed in trunk.
