HI all, with Morphic-mt.1154, Marcel did a great upgrade to the focus-related preferences introduced last October. He was able to reduce the number of preferences from four to three, while eliminating all semantic ambiguity between them AND keeping all of the existing functionality. The old preferences:
mouseOverForKeyboardFocus Focus Follows Mouse Window Active On First Click Windows Raise On Click
have been replaced with just these three:
Windows' Contents Are Always Active Windows' Controls Are Always Active Windows Raise On Any Click
and yet every combination of variability among the dimensions of z-ordering, widget focus, and window focus are still available, except now, unambiguously. Nice work!
Thank you.

Hi, there.
#mouseOverForKeyboardFocus is still there and works as before. Tobias just noticed an inconsistency when
[x] Windows' Contents Are Always Active [ ] mouseOverForKeyboardFocus
Because the window colors adapt to the current mouse position but the widgets *inside* an window do not automatically get focus. Tobias especially noticed that in combination with text morphs. I started typing and nothing happened.
Best, Marcel
