Do you mean click on a button? This works for me if I click on another field or 
on the card background. It works the way you are seeing it only if I click on a 
button. We just had a thread about this. Put focus on nothing in the mouseUp 
handler of your button. This will have the effect of sending closefield to 
whatever the focused object is.
