#7280: Overall focusing problem on Desktop ------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: Karvjorm | Owner: stippi Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: User Interface | Version: R1/alpha2 Resolution: | Keywords: Overall focusing problem Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment (by stippi): In Haiku (and BeOS), each individual BWindow has a BView that has the current focus. However there is only one active BWindow at any time, too. Most applications listen for the activation state change of a window and change the visual appearance of the (still focused) BView accordingly. For example Tracker will render selected items gray in inactive windows, and black in active windows. This is the intentional behavior. One of the reasons why it works this way is that when a window becomes active again, the control that was last focused in that window should have the focus again, which automatically works this way. All the application has to do is watch for the activation event of a window and cause the focused view to repaint. I am not quite sure what happened at your end that caused you to log this ticket, but maybe you can watch the behavior again with what I have written and decide whether there is indeed a bug somewhere or not. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7280#comment:1> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
