- I experience similar problems when using HP's datebook program, I also
- have everything set to explicit, and I can bring up the datebook with a
- couple of keypresses, enter in a date and message, but in order to
- select an event type, I need to use the mouse (whinge number 1), and
- once I have used the mouse, the focus highlight around the current
- widget is lost (whinge number 2), and I am forced to continue using the
- mouse in this application until I close the window (at which point I am
- able to fire up another one via the keyboard again.) (whinge number 3)
-
- If anyone has found how to fix this, I would be very grateful to know
- how!
