Usability: New observation puts cursor into naming field #87

Closed lindakuhnz closed 6 years ago

lindakuhnz commented 6 years ago

When an new observation is made (by clicking new or by taking a framegrab) user has to use the mouse to click into the field to start naming it. Jump the cursor there automatically.

When a new observation is made (either by new or framegrab), the observation combobox actually has focus. You just can start typing right away. I've tested and verified that this is the current behavior.

I think the confusion is because there's no visual element indicating it has focus. (i.e. the red underline). There's a glitch in the underlying JavaFX CSS library that's preventing the focus indicator from appearing; likely related to the borderpane layout manger being used.

But I've tried to start typing and it cannot be done until you mouse click into the area.

Hmmm. Something is inconsistent. Will continue to test.

I have a telecon in a few minutes. I'll come down and take a look when it's done.
