Tab Key Issue.

Hi
If you have the find dialog open while you are entering text in your program and if at some point PB displays a list of constants for you to choose from and you find the one you want and press "Tab" the constant is entered into your program but the cursor jumps to the find dialog. So then when you try to continue entering program text you are actually entering text into the find dialog. I find this behavior annoying. Is it possible to prevent the "Tab" key from jumping to a dialog box in this case?
Thanks,
Simon

Hi,
I was trying to reproduce your issue on Win 11 Home with PB 6.04 (x86) and PB 6.21 (x64).
My Steps:
1. open IDE
2. open Find/Replace Dialog
3. Enter some code (Constants, Procedures, etc.)
4. Autocompletebox opens
5. Select some Item and press Tab
6. Curser is behind the inserted "Item-Text" (Constant, etc.) as expected.
Maybe I misunderstood your description, but so far I cannot confirm.

I also tried to reproduce Simon's tab key behaviour at the weekend but I wasn't able to. I suppose like many of us, I make fairly heavy use of Find-Replace daily. I felt that it was probably one of those anomalies where the precise steps and conditions have to be matched in order to see it happen. I wondered if there is something on Simon's machine that is persistently giving focus to the Find box. For me, the box remains in the foreground, but does not regain focus.

Hi
I forgot to mention I am using Linux PB 6.20. This behavior does not happen in the Windows version.

Ahh, sorry I can't help you there. I did wonder if you were a Linux man, but couldn't recall

I use both Windows and Linux equally that's what makes it so noticeable.
