Yes, this is the normal behaviour. The only time Columns will scan through the widgets for a selectable widget is when it is created, after that you would need to change the focus yourself. Maybe this should be changed for the Columns, Pile and GridFlow widgets when their focus is not selectable. What about edge cases like a selectable widget that becomes unselectable? _______________________________________________ Urwid mailing list [email protected] http://lists.excess.org/mailman/listinfo/urwid
