Ah. I should’ve thought of that. I tried years ago to create a kind of kiosk
app that used a web browser thinking I could put transparent buttons over top
of the browser object, but as soon as the browser object got focus, I could no
longer click buttons. The first click worked then nothing
It turns out that this bug was actually another bug manifesting itself. There
was a rogue browser widget (not visible) hiding in another group on the card
gobbling up keystrokes on Windows platform.

Behold the power of the log file:
Logs DOMINATE standalone debugging for all but the simplest issues.
They don't affect focus, either.
(Remote Debugger is cool, but like most things, has big
Andrew, are you using Parallels/Windows for testing?
I just saw something somewhat similar where I suddenly couldn’t paste into a
field; typing did work (Windows 10 running in Parallels, in IDE, not runtime).
I went to Parallels’ settings for Windows, unchecked and rechecked “Share

This is received under the same circumstances described before. I can’t add a
breakpoint because the Remote Debugger will take focus from the standalone,
which is one of the known workarounds. If I add an answer “foo” the focus is
Try comparing the properties of a group that works with the one that
doesn't. Also compare individual field properties, in particular check the
traversalOn, autoHilite, and lockText. That alone wouldn't explain why it
appears to fix itself occasionally, but could point to a script that
changes

I love field topics!
Win/Mac differences can really hit you, even on a stack that you thought
was well-tested. Because only well-tested on one platform.
This glitch sounds
I have an app with a group of fields who are struggling to accept keyboard
input. It seems to just be 1 group of 4 fields on a single card (that has been
noticed). You can click in the field and the blinking I-bar is inserted, but
typing on the keyboard does nothing. Pasting text into any of
