Bill,
I tried your script in Mac j601 and j602 and did NOT
experience the results you mention in your step 4 as long as
I did not alter the g1 and g2 fields. That is, g1 and g2
remained abc and cde. If I change g1 or g2, and close and
reopen, then g1 and g2 come back to abc and cde.
When I tab between the fields, I get no blinking
cursor in g1 or g2 but do get one in edit and the button
does highlight. The first time I tab to g1 or g2, there is
no cursor and whatever I type is ignored. I have to click on
g1 or g2 at least once to see any keystrokes.
If I click on g1 or g2, I see no cursor
and if I begin typing, my typing replaces ALL of the
existing text.
If I double click on g1 or g2, I get a
blinking cursor. But as you observed, the cursor remains
(unblinking) when I tab after editing g1 or g2.
When I enter form editor and move controls around by
dragging I get no error messages as you seem to in 5.
