[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cursor focus in Webby

[Donald Butterworth]

All,

A few weeks ago we updated to 2.12.1 and because I don't have to print
labels, I've been able to use Webby almost exclusively to do cataloging.

One of my pet peeves had been after clicking the Browse search button, the
cursor wasn't focused in the the search box on the search screen. A small
thing, but something I ran into constantly. With 2.12.1 the fix is in, and
it works great. Not only is the cursor in the search box, but the text
remains highlighted after the search, even after switching screens. This is
great behavior since it means I no longer have to click and swipe with the
mouse when I want to do the next search. I can just start typing or
pasting. Love it !

You know what they say. "If you give a mouse a cookie, then he'll want a
glass of milk"... this same behavior is not yet in place in Webby, for
Keyword search, Advanced Search, or in the Search textbox on the Record
Summary screen.

Anybody else want this to happen besides me?

Don

Hi Don,

We'd also love to see this behaviour for the basic, advanced, and the
search textbox (on the search results screen). One of our libraries
brought it up after our upgrade to 2.12.1 and it was on my list to
test on a server without our local customizations (to make sure it
wasn't just happening to us) and then report to launchpad. If you
create a bug report for this let me know.

Thanks,

Jennifer
