I noticed on an app developed using VisualAge Smalltalk for windows
that a textfield doesn't trigger a losingFocus event when the user
mouse-clicks on a menu item.  (pressing the Escape key  closes the
open menu and the blinking vertical cursor is visible on the
textfield, so one could say, focus was never lost).

Could someone tell me if apps developed using the Java Swing APIs
behave in the same way?

thanks
