Subject:Keyboard focus not restored in XSD file windows Author:Jim Melton Date:29 Jun 2005 08:13 PM
I've searched this forum without seeing this problem reported.
If I am editing an XSD file in SS 6 and I change keyboard focus to another application window (whether with Alt-Tab or by clicking the mouse in that other window), when I return to SS6 (either through Alt-Tab or by mouse click), there is no keyboard focus at all. I have to use a mouse-click to give myself a keyboard focus in the XSD file that I am editing.
Similarly, changing from one window to another within SS 6 (using Ctrl-Tab or mouse-clicking on a tab) and then returning to the XSD window results in a complete absence of keyboard focus.
This is quite annoying and I hope it's just some sort of user preference or setting that I've gotten wrong.
Another very annoying thing (as long as I'm on the subject) is that, every time I open an XSD file in SS6, the window real estate is split evenly between the text view (on the bottom) and a graphical view (on the top). I virtually NEVER edit XML Schema files in the graphical view, strongly preferring the text view, so I really get annoyed by always having to manually close the graphical view in order to maximize the amount of the text window I can see.
Again, I hope it's just some user setting that I've gotten wrong.
Any advice about correcting these two annoyances will be gratefully received.

Jim,
we will look into the first issue you mentioned (lost keyboard focus); that sounds like a bug.
About the second one (collapsing XML Schema diagram view by default), we don't have a setting for doing that. I'm adding an item in our product change request database to add an option setting.

Minolo,
Many thanks for the quick response. I look forward to the bug fix re: keyboard focus, and to the possibility of an enhancement to provide more control over the view(s) that are opened by default.
