Each time I start OpenSCAD, the focus is somewhere other than in the source code. I always have to click in the source code before I can start editing. Is there a good reason to not have the focus start in the source code? Jon

Boy, that was quick! 2015.03, Win 8.1. I open OpenSCAD, pick a Recent, double click on it, and then start typing. Nothing happens because the focus is elsewhere Jon On 9/16/2015 3:05 PM, Torsten Paul wrote: > On 09/16/2015 09:02 PM, jon wrote: >> Each time I start OpenSCAD, the focus is somewhere other than >> in the source code.

Happens here too. Often the Console is the focus even after manipulating the 3D view with mouse, or clicking on the grey space at the top of the editor. You have to click in the white space to focus the that. Even tho the caret it blinking there already - which is misleading. Perhaps the console is created first and becomes the focus, then nothing changes it to the editor? BTW, need to consider what to focus on when the editor pane is hidden. ----- Newly minted Admin - PM me if you need anything, or if I've done something stupid...

IIRC this was brought up some time ago and deemed to be a QT bug.
