OK, figured this one out...
All controls that "can receive focus" implement
IFocusManagerComponent. One property of this is 'focusEnabled'
When designing components, the 'children' components should probably
be set to 'focusEnabled=false' if they're going to be used in a PopUp
of an itemEditor.
Setting 'focusEnabled=false' on all of the "pieces" of my popup solved
my problem.
hope this helps someone else down the road.
cheers,
Thunder
