Not really - the "common dialogs", of which the standalone fl_input() widget is one, are pretty much at the mercy of the window manager in terms of placement and so forth. Ideally, they'd pop at or near the mouse position, but it seems that most current WM on most platforms just pop them wherever they like... We have not, historically, provided any means to set the position of these dialogs - though I suspect there may be some nasty hack to obtain the window pointer and use that to force a position on the dialog. (Maybe, and only after it was actually shown, I suspect!) As to why the input filed does not have focus, I'm not sure... That does seem unexpected - what version of fltk are you using and what host platform? > If not I'll have to make my own class. Yup - that certainly would allow you to set the position and so forth. Not sure what's going on with the input focus though. That might be a regression - in a quick test, I'm occasionaly seeing different behaviours between 1.1 and 1.3, with 1.1 "more right".
