Hi all, some time during the DAD (dynamic attribute dialog) rewrite a bug got introduced that made the library window harder to use when it's first opened: the focus was on the tree, not on the filter entry so simply typing a footprint name did not do the right thing. This was because the DAD API didn't have a concept of focus, which in turn was due to a limitation (and generally weak design) of motif on this. I've finally figured how to work this around so we now have a DAD API to set the focus on a specific widget. It is important that this thing is about which widget has the focus _initially_, when the dialog box opens. The user may change focus later on, e.g. by clicking other widgets and we should do no effort to force the focus back to the initial place. I've fixed the initial focus bug in the library window. If you find any other dialog box that opens with the focus being on the wrong widget, please report that! Best regards, Igor2
