EVALUATION This is Not a Bug. Disabled Components can become the focus owner. This is a special case of the focus specification. The Component should not receive any KeyEvents, however. I'll keep this bug open until we have the new focus implementation and specification in place. In the meantime, the test case against which this bug was filed should be fixed. david.mendenhall@eng 2000-03-15 Name: dkR10074 Date: 10/27/2000 ###@###.### 2000-10-27 SunOS_sparc promoted b34 - FAILED promoted b35 - PASSED promoted b36 - PASSED Windows_NT_x86 promoted b34 - FAILED promoted b35 - PASSED promoted b36 - PASSED ====================================================================== Based on the above results, I am closing this bug as being fixed by the merlin focus project. hania.gajewska@Eng 2001-04-17
