Last week we were discussing the relative merits of having one fixed rect
for a field regardless of the ephemeral focusBorder, or whether the
focusBorder should be included in the rect as it is in 2.4b4. There seemed
a consensus that a fixed rect was more useful than a dynamic one based on
this ephemeral property, but it leave this question open: What do we do for
the minority of cases where including the focusBorder in the rect would be
useful?
I would like to propose that we consider adopting "the effective rect",
which would return the complete rect of an object including any temporary
decorations like the focusBorder.
Would this be acceptable to the readers here (and more importantly, to
Scott)?
