I have this layout: BorderPane with a MenuBar (top) and TabPane (center)
I have two initial tabs. Selecting some menu option will create a new tab. One of the menu options creates a drawing surface, which is made up of a StackPane with a Canvas. The canvas has FocusTraversable set to true and has keyboard event handlers: canvas.setFocusTraversable(true); canvas.setOnKeyPressed((KeyEvent e) -> handleHotKeys(e)); canvas.setOnKeyTyped((KeyEvent e) -> handleChars(e)); The canvas responds to keyboards events - I can get "a", "b", "c" etc, DEL, INS, END and other keys I'm interested in. However, when I press "left arrow" or "right arrow", the MenuBar gets focus. If I then click in the canvas, the Tab control gets focus. If I keep pressing an arrow key, the tabs cycle though, until I get back to the tab with the canvas, then the arrow events are sent to the canvas, and it works like it should. I don't understand why the arrow key events don't go first to the canvas. Any clues appreciated.
