On linux (have not tried on windows)... - Self File->New->Project... - Select "Basic", select "Project" - Click on the "Next" button Notice focus is no given to the project name field. It looks like the "Back" button has focus. This could be the same for other wizards as well (have not verified). NOTES: KH (6/5/2001 5:33:31 PM) Verified that this is a Linux only problem. Fixing this would be a significant usability improvement on Linux. SN (6/7/01 1:13:05 PM) Here is the problem - on X, a control will not take focus when it is not "viewable". In addition to the usual restrictions about being enabled and visible, the control must also be "showing". For example, if the control is clipped by the parent so that is cannot be seen by the user, it will not take focus. There is nothing I can do to work around this behavior on X (but I'm still thinking about it because I know that this behavior is unwanted). So, on Windows we implemented to X behavior but we didn't emulate the "showing" part because there is no Windows API to determine this and it would be too expensive and error prone to compute this. On Windows, all of the controls in the hierarchy are "visible", but one has size (0,0) so we allow the focus to happen on Windows. The fix should be for focus to somehow be refused on Windows (the unwanted behavior). I would also really love to have focus be accepted on X and I will try again after the freeze to make this happen, rather than implement the unwanted but correct X behavior on Windows.

PRODUCT VERSION: 0.118 (SDK)
This has been fixed for a while. We modeled the X behavior on Windows.
