Mark,
I have also observed very difficult to replicate problems with focus
within Rev IDE and GLX2. Trevor has PINPOINTED the bug his recent bug
reports and can replicate it in his sample stacks. It comes down to
"object focus dysphoria" on the part of Revolution's engine. It is not
an IDE-only problem (and not a GLX2-only problem).
This bug fix is THE most crucial one, IMO, for a successful Rev 2.9
release. Without this fix, there is really no way an application with
any kind of complexity can be built and released to users. Short cut
keys need to work. Period. It should never take an extra click to get
a control to respond after a palette or dialog has shown. This is
standard behavior of applications we're discussing, here. This is not
a "let's see if we can fix this bug in this release" type of option.
Best,

Thanks for posting this and for the explanation of what may be
happening. I voted for the bug post. I think it's very important
that this is straightened out. People expect things to work as they
do everywhere else. This isn't a good thing for new users who may
find this to be a metaphor for the greater integrity of Rev. And
it's a pain. I've been doing a lot of editing and manually moving
card elements and script snippets, and it is really a hassle. GLX2
also has issues with cut and paste and retaining clipboard info.
Perhaps dependent on the engine confusions you describe, but also
frustrating. I'm learning to work around them, but it is not the
way things ought to be.

Is the copy/paste situation supposed to get fixed in Rev 3? It is
still very undependable in the 3.9 beta and 2.8.1. Inconsistent
even from the menu, but command-c, command-v seems to work only
very rarely. Muy frustrante.
I just posted another bug report that demonstrates how to confuse
the engine in terms of what is the focusedObject and selectedField.
While creating the report I confirmed that shortcut keys definitely
stop working whenever the engine gets confused. Once focusedObject
and selectedField are back in sync then shortcut keys work great.
