Yes, slightly. In that case, please take my apology for that, and let us then
finish here this unnecessary, and time consuming conversation :)

Yes, but Ian, I've already sent converted simple Michael's code to this
mailing list.

I perfectly understand that I can't expect people to fill in the gaps in my
program, but those omissions are not so trivial to fix, that is the whole
point, because it would require a lot explaining of some external classes
which do not have relations to this issue, involve more complication and so
on, and so on... anyway, once more, there was already converted (to FLTK 2.x)
Michael's code, for which I've reported to behave as same as my program.

Thanks a lot, for the time you've spend on this!
I think that call to "fltk::add_timeout(0.05, cb_grab_focus, wordInput);" is
crucial, without it this doesn't work, that is I don't have to use
overloading of (hadle()) method.
For now I'll stick to the solution which uses resizing subwindow to mimic
showing and hiding and possibly tweak it a little bit more, I'm beginner with
FLTK generally so even with documentation about "fltk::add_timeout(float time,
TimeoutHandler cb, void *arg)" which frankly isn't much I didn't know how this
function works, that is, it is called only once, so overloading of "handle()"
and/or maintaining another timeout function will probably complicate the
program (for me) even more, since current solution already works.
I just hope that resizing window isn't (much) slower than hiding/showing :)
BTW I've noticed something strange which has not relation to current issue.
In all the cited programs so far (this is also reproducible in this program)
if one types something in input box, and then holds "backspace" key to delete
that strng and holds it a little longer after the string is deleted, and then
releases "backspace" key and presses "escape" key, then the first character of
previous (deleted) string will appear, and program wont quit on subsequent
"escape" key presses. Is this a bug in FLTK 2.x?

Thank you.

Unnecessary, but ok, if you say so :)
Excuse my english if there were some misspelled words.
Best regards,
Millan.
