Hi,

I just tried this in Servoy 6.1RC5 and the onFocusLost was triggered in my case. The warning says that when you use a dialog box (such as showInfoDialog I guess) that this will interfere with the focus which is understandable because the focus goes from the elements in the form to the dialogbox and back (after it closes). Maybe somebody can elaborate on the specifics of this?
