teelegram window no focus (Wishlist)
teelegram window no focus // Wishlist
Jun 7, 2002, 7:37pm
when i click reply or send telegram.. the telegram window does not get the
focus and i end up typing in the chat window. i find the extremly annoying
and i keep blurting things out in public i would rather not have. when i
sent an email to aw this is the response i got:
(from Will Geraghty)
Telegram window: This nows does not stop you from
using the rest of the AW
browser, you may just have to click on it.
obviously they arent gonna bother even attempting to fix this... i would
appreciate it if more people would complain about this. i know im not the
only one having problems cause people have said stuff to me that werent
meant for me (and sometimes i would have rather NOT heard it)
Jun 7, 2002, 7:42pm
I also find this extremly annoying when I hit reply and type things out to
people in AW

Well look at the screen then :P its invaluble to me, if u do type it
accidently in aw, just copy and paste it into the tg

I find it better, because if you are typing a long message and people are talking outloud, you
can still talk in chat without having to copy and close the window and reopen and paste or
finish typing it...

It's not that.. maybe have it autofocus to the telegram. I like the part
about that too ;)

that would help if you havent ALREADY pressed enter because youre so used to
it having the focus! and that takes as long as typing it over again!

The new "non-modal" telegram window is definitly a great feature, but it
does seem slightly buggy at time.
I believe the problem is that anytime one of the status bars update, the
main AW window steals the focus from the telegram window. For example..
Once I encountered a bug where the status bar was updating "download
complete" every second or so. (I believe with was caused by a pict object
with a refresh command) Each time it would update the telegram window would
lose focus. This made it impossible to compose my telegram. I would click in
the text box to give the focus back to the telegram widnow, and before I
could type a single letter the focus would be stolen by the status bar
again.
I'm going to do some more testing, and see if I can reproduce this. Most of
the time right clicking and selecting "reply" on a telegram brings up the
telegram window with focus properly. Sometimes, it does not... So, I'm going
to try and determine what's stealing the focus.

Ok.. I've done one test with no results..
I created a pict1.rwx with the action: "create picture
http://www.wade.org/latest.jpg update=1" This is a web cam (currently off)
that has a new image every 30 seconds. If you visit my world JTech (look to
the NW corner of GZ) you'll see the pict. You'll also notice that once every
second you stats bar changes from "1 item left" to "Download Compelete" and
back again.
I belive this was the status bar that was stealing the focus when I was
expirencing the bug. I haven't been able to recreate it. Please come to
JTech and let me know if you have any problems with the sign and telegram
window focus.
Regards,
Jeremy

Ok, I've recreated the problem....
The telegram window looses focus while you are typing if:
(1. You have the 'web' window displayed
(2. The web window has the focus (i.e. you click on it somewhere)
(3. You then right click on a telegram and click "reply"
(4. Any automatic refreshes in the web page will steal the focus from the
telegram window
So, it was not the world download tool bar, it was the web page refreshing
automatically.
To recreate this for yourself:
1) Teleport to the world "JTech". The world homepage is set to a page known
to cause the problem.
2) Once everything loads... Click on your Telegrams tab.
3) Make sure your 'web' window is displayed (F7), and click anywhere in the
white space beneath that image.
3) Without doing anything else, right click on a telegram in the telegrams
tag and select "reply".
4) The web window refreshes every 10 seconds, each time the focus will be
stolen from your telegram window.
My only question is... Why am I not on the beta team? :o)
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Also noticed something else...
My neat little refreshing web page (just a meta tage with a refresh attrib.
set to 10) will also steal the focus from the chat or 3d window.
I was walking along and stopped when the page refreshed. I was also half way
though a sentence when the page refreshed and I had to reset the focus to
type in the chat box again.
