| Summary | 0002817: Focus not getting removed on disabled elements after update from 3.2.1->3.2.2 | ||||
| Description | There seems to be a change in behavior where prior to < 3.2.2 the focus of elements would be removed after IsEnabled was set to false. With 3.2.2 this does not appear to occur anymore, breaking many of our element styles as they are based on those property values. Attached are two screenshots from the Gui Inspector on the same element, one from 3.2.1 and one from 3.2.2. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Focus an element | ||||
| Platform | Any | ||||

Hello, This is related to the implementation of the FocusManager (0001982) and the logical focus. The property IsFocused indicates if the element has the logical focus in its focus scope (there can be several focus scopes, so more than one element with logical focus can exist at the same time). When a focused element is disabled, it loses the keyboard focus, but the logical focus remains and the focus scope still keeps a reference to that element. This is how WPF behaves and how we implemented it in Noesis. Does this make sense to you? |

Thanks, that makes sense. Is there any way for us to easily track (breaking) changes like this in the future? Reading through the Changelog for 3.2.2 it wasn't obvious the introduction of the FocusManager would have changed existing behavior (instead of just introducing new functionality). |

The changelog should be the place where these breaking changes should be explained. This was a mistake from our side and we are going to fix the changelog and improve the related documentation. We were solving an incorrect behavior regarding the logical focus (IsFocused property and GotFocus/LostFocus events) with the implementation of FocusManager. |
