Without the patch, the focus goes to "choice0", which maps to the
"Cancel" button in the HIG example - I guess that seems reasonable.

If the Albrecht patch does break that, I guess we can force the focus
back to that button and then "all will be well"!

In fltk-2, with Ben's patch, focus is still on "choice0" but that is now
the left-most button, so in the "wrong place" to be a "cancel" if we
follow the HIG.


A question:

Running the "message" demo on WinXP now, in fltk-1.x and fltk-2 I see a
significant difference in that the fltk-1 dialogs are all undecorated
windows, and all pop up at the same screen location.

The fltk-2 dialogs are decorated windows - i.e. have close / maximise
that actually work (why would you want to be able to maximise a dialog
box, though? Well, maybe...) and they pop up in different screen
positions, meaning I have to mouse about to click from one to the
next... Which is a bit annoying.
(Also, the decorations they have are the "full size" decorations, not
the little mini decorations that MS seem to adorn their own dialogs
with...)

Why are the window formats different? It seems odd to me that they would
be...
