Hi Damien,

The preference #mouseOverForKeyboardFocus only control that when a pane 
has the mouse leaving  it will surrender (or not) its focus. This 
preference does nothing with the acquiring of the focus so each pane can 
do whatever they want with that.

Unfortunately this means that even when the preference is false if your 
mouse goes to another pane, then you will lose focus. That is because 
all panes (PluggableText, PluggableList, at least)  automatically grab 
focus on #mouseEnter.

So. What is this preference purpose then ? This preference just control 
that, when true, you can remove the focus of any morph by moving the 
mouse away from its area. If false it wont, unless you just happen to 
move it over one of the Pluggable.... morph

Long time ago, when I had free time. I made a couple of .cs to do 
exactly what you want and, I think, they are on Squeakmap. If not they 
are also here: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2959. For what you 
want you will need these two: clickForKbrdFocus-hpt.cs  and 
passWindowActivacionClick.cs

Regards,
Hernán
