Completely.

It is a Morphic feature. If you move the cursor to a different morph, 
that different morph will receive events (also typing from keyboard). 
Morphs are selfish entities. They will handle all the events which they 
receive regardless of the rest of the world.

Such an architecture is not very flexible because it is then hard to 
achieve more complicated cooperation among morphs belonging to the same 
"window" such as
- which of all the morphs should receive a key-press when key was 
pressed in any morph belonging to the same window
- which other morph should be focused when you press TAB or Shift+TAB
- keybindings to activate various morphs (press buttons, focus text fields)
- ...

Reasonable way is to redesign the Morphic so that Mediator patter will 
be employed.
- There will be per window ``mediator'' implementing complex interaction 
policy. It will know about all the morphs (colleagues) belonging to that 
window.
- Morphs will be ``colleagues'', not knowing of each other. They are 
aware solely of the ``mediator''. They should forward all the events 
they receive to ``mediator'' which will decide what actions should be taken.

I do not know of any simpler (non-ad-hoc) solution.
