Description

Name: sgC58550			Date: 05/06/97


I found that the TextArea component "eats" tab keys, so that focus
traverse is not possible to implement capturing the tab keys
before they are delivered to the TextArea component, and then
calling nextFocus() or transferFocus().  This works ok for 
forward traversal, but what do I do when I capture a shift-tab
combination?  There is no way to programmatically transfer focus
to the previous component.

EVALUATION ============================================================ ###@###.### (Dec 3, 1997): Many bugs of this kind can be found in Bugtraq, e.g., 4095214 which was created only recently (end of November). However, with no test case available, no definite assessment can be made as to whether this bug (4049988) should be closed as a duplicate. It will probably be automatically fixed in due course, i.e., as a side effect of fixing bugs related to it. ------------- 5/23/2000 kevin.ryan@eng -- # 4032726 has been committed to for merlin. Since this bug is a subset of it, am marking this as a dupe of # 4032726.
