That's strange, i did this: i opened notepad, opened C::B, set the focus to notepad, moved the mouse over the editor, typed something with the keyboard. Whatever i type goes inside notepad, even if the C::B editor seems to have the focus.
(Of course "Auto editor focus" is enabled)
Auto editor focus does *not* get the focus unless CB
already *has* the focus. It uses the wxWidgets internal
focus capability, *not* the os events.
It cannot automatically focus CB by itself.
Many OS's have the Xwindows "focus follows mouse" enabled.
In this case CB can get the focus from the OS when the mouse
is over CB. But no other way.
Also, may mice drivers implement the "mouse activates window"
behavior. Check your mouse configuration. Also make sure you're
not running TweakUI with mouse activation enabled.
Auto editor focus *cannot* activate an OS window that is not
already active.
thanks
