Hi Judith

I figure I may as well tell you about all the things that I notice with 
IDE. Here is how to get these problems (minor ones):

1. Open IDE and drop a tab control onto the window.
2. Click the tab to make it active (4 triangles showing in corners).
3. Click width and height in Property list and change them - these work.
4. Click Row: and Col: and try to change all 3 digits - after each digit 
deleted or added the focus goes to the Tab in the Window and the next 
keystroke is beeped. You have to keep clicking the mouse on the property 
for every keystroke.

Whatever was done for width and height as regards focus returning to 
property list needs to also be done for row and col and it will be OK.

Alternatively, it would be OK in my opinion to not resize or move the 
control on every keystroke (which can be a little distracting when the 
object becomes 0 pixels across) but only when the particular property is 
moved out of when the user is finished the change (like hitting tab or 
clicking elsewhere).

Not finished yet ...

5. Click the tab control to be active in big window.
6. Click height property and make a change - tab still shows as active.
7. Click tab again if you want.
8. Hit delete key - nothing happens.
9. Repeat 7 and 8 as much as you like - no effect.
10. click window outside tab control to make active then reclick to make 
active, and now delete works.

The delete function is looking at something different to what the click is 
setting in some way.

Thanks
