Input focus

If you move from one opened file to another by selecting the appropriate
tab, the input focus is lost; you have to click on the file display window
before being able to do anything (for example, scroll using Page
Up/Down).

Why does selecting a tab not put the input focus back where it was the
last time that file was selected, as is conventional in Windows programs?

I note that switching using Ctrl-Tab does restore the input focus properly.

Hi Peter,

This is a bug in Java 1.5_02. Java 1.5_03 does not have this problem but it has others. We recommend using version 1.4.2_05 and we included that in the kit that contains a Java VM.

Best Regards,
George
