Bug in version 11.0.3.1770: PLD loses focus when date selector is used in SQL Window data grid

[Claus Pedersen]

I have an SQL window with an updateable select containing a date column (e.g. select t.*, t.rowid from EMP t).
When I press the small triangle to the far right in the HIREDATE column, the small date selector opens. Notice how PLD loses focus (the title bar becomes gray). I select a date and press OK.

Now PLD has completely lost focus. The title bar of the main window remains gray. You have to press Alt-Tab or click with the mouse in the grid to get focus back. This is especially tiresome when you use Alt-Down to activate the date selector and wants to use Tab to go to the next field in the grid.

I have not investigated if this was a problem in earlier versions of 11.0.x, but I have not noticed it before. This is certainly not a problem in version 10, where PLD always had focus, even when the date selector was open.

Please, could this be fixed?

Indeed. We'll try to fix this.

Partly solved in ver. 11.0.4.

The focus is now kept in the grid, so this is OK.

But when the cursor is in a field with a date dropdown, after having used the date selector by pressing Alt-Down and you afterwards use Alt-PageDown to fetch the next page of data, a ? character is inserted before the data in the date field, and this can obviously not be validated as a valid date.

Please fix these kind of erors.

We'll check it out.

OK, thanks

Update: the date selector in a Test Window (used to set/change a variable declared as a date datatype) also makes PLD lose focus.

I can confirm. Test window date parameters still loose focus.
11.0.4

We'll fix that too.
