Hi Bruce,

Your buttons probably have the 'traversalOn' property
set to true -- on MacOS, buttons do not receive the
eyboard focus, but on Windows they do : when you click
on a button, the previous selection is lost.
The quick solution is to set the 'traversalOn'
property to false for all your buttons.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
