Comments
EVALUATION We should investigate this in a future release. ###@###.### 2002-01-14 This was, indeed, a bug in Merlin, but in Hopper it appears to be fixed already. Hopper build 17 generates focus events for both Windows and Solaris. I assume that it was fixed with 4027897 Solaris: Labels & Scrollbars can't receive focus events Closing out as no longer reproducible. ###@###.### 2002-07-16
