Comment #3 on issue 3280 by gazzaguru2: Focus indicator for pluggable text morphs not correctly drawn http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3280 Noticed that the blinking cursor sometimes hangs around now though... (since optimised to only redraw the focus indictor parts) try: keyboardFocusChange: aBoolean "rr 3/21/2004 22:55 : removed the #ifFalse: branch, which was responsible of the deselection of text when the paragraph lost focus. This way selection works in a more standard way, and this permits the menu keyboard control to be really effective. Changed to update focus indication." paragraph ifNotNil: [paragraph focused: aBoolean]. aBoolean ifTrue: ["A hand is wanting to send us characters..." self hasFocus ifFalse: [self editor "Forces editor install"]. self editor focused: true. self useFindReplaceSelection ifTrue: [self selectionChanged]. Editor blinkingCursor ifTrue: [self startBlinking]] ifFalse:[editor ifNotNil: [editor focused: false]. self resetBlinkCursor; stopBlinking]. self editView ifNil: [self focusChanged] ifNotNil: [self editView focusChanged]

Comment #7 on issue 3280 by gazzaguru2: Focus indicator for pluggable text morphs not correctly drawn http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3280 Though technically an unrelated issue try the following to see if you like it better ;-) PopupChoiceDialogWindow filter: aString "Set the value of filter, used to match the valid choices." filter := aString. self changed: #filter. (self choiceMenus ifNil: [^self]) do: [:embeddedMenu | embeddedMenu selectItem: nil event: nil]. "clear selection in other menus" self choiceMenus do: [:embeddedMenu | embeddedMenu selectMatch: self filter asLowercase]. self filterMorph hasKeyboardFocus ifFalse: [ self activeHand newKeyboardFocus: self filterMorph. self filterMorph selectFrom: filter size + 1 to: filter size + 1]

Comment #9 on issue 3280 by gazzaguru2: Focus indicator for pluggable text morphs not correctly drawn http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3280 You'll need this too to allow return key when filter has focus to do the ok action... newFilterEntry "Answer a new filter entry field." |entry| entry := self newAutoAcceptTextEntryFor: self getText: #filter setText: #filter: getEnabled: nil help: 'Filters the options according to a matching substring' translated. entry acceptOnCR: false. entry textMorph crAction: (MessageSend receiver: self selector: #ok). ^entry
