Hi, I am having very strange behavior on MacOSX with non-modal windows, something very similar to what is described here:
http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.general+v:9340 Basically, non-modal windows (which are essential as toolbox windows and such) don't act nice. For example, I have a "main window" which is not non-modal nor modal, and during the course of the program, non-modal windows are opened as toolboxes, preference windows and that sort of thing. They are non-modal because they need to stay on top, but the main window must still be capable of receiving events. This causes some problems on macOSX (but not on Windows or Linux): 1. The windows seem to be fighting over the focus, because I can't type into text boxes on the non-modal windows. I can click on a text box, the I beam appears in the correct text position for a brief moment and then disappears. Sometimes it kind of works (can type into one, textbox, but when I click on another one the problem appears), and sometimes if I keep the mouse clicked on the textbox and type it works. It also apears that the windows are fighting for focus since they both have the close, minimize and maximize buttons colored. On the text editor demo in particular, I noticed that the "replace" dialog which is non-modal, stays on top, but the main window can be clicked for focus... the replace dialog remains on top, yet it becomes "unfocused" and the close button and other window decorations "dim out". When the dialog windows are set to normal (neither modal nor non-modal) the text boxes work as expected, I can type into them normally and the window "dims out" when focus is changed to another window (although it gets lost in the back, which is useless). 2. I don't know if this is related, but the main window has an GL_Window dreived widget, which handles FL_MOVE events to detect the mouse position on the window, it works fine on linux and windows, but on mac it does not. It kind of works when one of the non-modal windows is showing... very strange... Any ideas or comments are desperately appreciated.
