Please don't overgeneralize. Even many users that have had suffered extended exposure to Microsoft Windows prefer focus following mouse. "It is hard" is also a wild exaggeration: after all, the cursor _is_ already in that window, and the click will do no harm. Anyhow, Windows has focus following mouse while dragging a scrollbar, where it is utterly more disruptive, and people get used to it as well, seemingly. Your request is valid without the need for sweeping generalizations. It may be that this is a sideeffect of the xforms library which I have found to cause some other not exactly desirable effects. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
