🚀 go-pugleaf

Arthur, your technique doesn't work for me, because 
this.getContentPage() and validate() aren't defined. I've been working 
with a state changed event, but I created a mouseClicked event as you 
have and still no go.

The technique I've been trying is as follows. In the state changed 
event, I request focus to the panel. When it gains focus, it requests 
focus to the text field I want to ultimately have focus. I have output 
statements that show this happening.

Thus, the text field gets focus, as I want.

But then it loses it. I have a focus lost event on the text field and 
display getOppositeComponent and it goes to a text field that I haven't 
defined. It doesn't display the name, only the coordinates and colors 
etc, but the coordinates don't match anything I've created.

Except for focus going to this phantom jdbTextField, it works. But why 
is it doing that, and what is the field?

I haven't trie the debugger, perhaps that will help.
