Re: RDP 9.1.1 Ctrl+F [Find / Replace] focus issue

Hi Paul

Yeah, that setting was mentioned in the link I posted - apparently it makes the window that gets focus to come to the front - that probably wouldn't happen in RDi, though.

Now there's a registry hack cited in that link that keeps the window layers as they are, still giving focus to the one behind - and there are comments on just how well it works!

This is from windows 7, but the idea should be applicable to all versions.

Open the control panel, find the "Ease of access" (aka accessibility) section. Under the "make the mouse easier to use" section is the tickbox you are looking for.

I tried it for a while but it doesn't flow as well as me deciding which window/section has the focus. Others may find this solves all their frustrations, but like Mike said I found myself surprised when my typing spread over two different windows because my mouse moved by itself! (No, not a poltergeist, just a cluttered desk.)

That is, with Windows you have to explicitly give focus to something
for actions like the wheel-up /wheel-down to do something. Since the
focus is still in the Find entry field that is where it takes effect.

I think Windows has a setting which will make the focus always follow the mouse pointer. I never use it, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it.
