Location: Guatemala, Central America                This is the first time that 
I've had the need to have a popupmenu be the first control on a window since I 
started using RS and it seems that running on Mac the popupmenu can't receive 
focus as the first control in the window, it works OK under windows XP, 7 & 8 
though.

Is this normal behavior or am I doing something wrong?

you can only set focus (or Tab to) Textfields.
If you want the user to be able to set focus on your PopupMenu they have to go 
into their System settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts and enable "Full 
Keyboard Access" to All Controls.

Mac OS X doesn't behave like Windows do

understand OS X a bit better.

Thanks for the info!

I don't know if this is true to ALL os x versions but at least from 10.5 what I 
can find out
