I have workarounds, I just don't want to have to use them. Selecting nothing or setting the hilitedline, either one, you still have to set up some handlers to do it. They don't work in an openCard handler, you have to reset after that. On 4/6/20 2:38 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: I

Who else doesn't want auto-select when opening a card?

2020-04-06 Thread J. Landman Gay via use-livecode
This makes me crazy. I almost never want the first field selected when I go to a card, particularly on mobile. And god forbid the first field is a list field, where the first line is hilited whenever the stack resumes focus, even if the hilitedline was 0. The workaround is tedious: on
