Re: NSTabView and edit fields

John,

I tried your sample and I reproduced the first part of your claim, but not the second, namely, that clicking on the field and then switching tabs by means of the tab bar makes the field lose its halo. The halo never went away when I tried it, no matter what.

It seems to me that the behavior you described is normal and correct. After all, once the field has gained focus, it remembers that it has the focus. Switching to another tab should not make the field lose its focus since the field isn't accessible anyway until the user returns to that tab, in which case the state of the application is as it was when the user last left that tab view.

Or perhaps I misunderstood your problem and am missing something. :)

The problem is that the text field can have a halo but not actually have focus.

Please use the buttons to switch between tabs, not the tab bar. In the real code, it's a "tabless" tab view; the user can only navigate with buttons, not with the tab bar. Maybe I should have hidden the tabs in the sample, too, but I wanted to make it apparent that I was using an NSTabView.
