I don't seem to have this problem. Here's some code snipits which I've been
using and the window opens with focus and a blue bar like it should when it
has the focus.

global procedure pickTermsInit()
 wx = 300
 wy = 250
 wl = 207
 wh = 160
 winIdTerms = create(Window,"",grpActive,wx,wy,wl,wh,0)    <---- grpActive
is the parent window
 pickField[fldCount] = {winIdTerms,routine_id("pickTerms")}
 idTerms = create(List,"",winIdTerms,0,0,200,100,#82)
 pickIndex[fldCount] = {idTerms,fldCount}
 pkOkTerms = create(Button,"OK",winIdTerms,50,105,50,25,0)
 onClick[pkOkTerms] = routine_id("getCode")
 pkCanTerms = create(Button,"Cancel",winIdTerms,100,105,50,25,0)
 onClick[pkCanTerms] = routine_id("exitRoutine")
end procedure

global procedure pickTerms ()
 typ = "T"
 who = getWhoami()
 win = winIdTerms
 list = idTerms
 loadCodes(typ,idTerms)
 openWindow(winIdTerms,Normal)
end procedure
