As Booth hints, this behaviour is explicitly designed this way. In the old
days, the cursor
would move on first click, but many customers complained that this was not
like other
Windows products and was causing them misery: they didn't want to cause a
cursor move,
they just wanted to regain focus. So now, a second click will move your
cursor.

However, we will accept this as a suggestion to make this behaviour
toggle-able.  As always,
we strive to improve the product based on feedback like this.

Yes there is an official support "channel": it is the same one you use for
SEU, RPG, etc.
There is a competent team in Rochester's service organization who are
ready, willing and
able to accept PMRs, APARs and the like.  All other channels like this
email list and the
Q & A database on the website are strictly a "bonus" offered mainly to
enable customers to
help each other ... although the CODE/400 and VisualAge RPG teams do try to
monitor it
as much as possible. What we get out of it at the Toronto lab is a good
source of ideas for
improving the product, and a way to keep directly in touch with our
customer base. However,
it is designed to complement, not replace,  the regular service offerings.

Hope this helps.

This is the behavior I expect and prefer, given the choices.  If I click
on some place on a hidden window and inadvertently start machinery
rumbling I would be unhappy.

that is my 'umble opinion, only.

Hello IBM,

We're now up to V3R2M3, and we're still plagued by one of the more
annoying
bugs that has been in the product since day one;

- two members are open in a horizontal split view
- take your mouse and click somewhere in the member that's *not* in focus
- cursor moves to the position that it was in the last time the member was
in focus.

The behaviour that I would expect here, is that the cursor is placed at
the
position where I click my mouse. This is how all other Win apps seem to
behave - and is certainly a more useful behaviour.

Is this not considered a bug by you folks? Is that why it still hasn't
been
addressed?


Regards,

John Taylor
Canada

p.s. - Is there an official support channel for this product?
