Hi Chris,

This problem would happen on MacOS, of course -- not
on Windows/Unix, as the MacOS HIG is the only one
where a button doesn't receive the keyboard focus.

You could patch the mouseUp handler in the revDatabase
frontscript to get around that limitation, and make
sure the closeField is called, as follows :

## just after the line
  if exists(pObject) and the
cREVGeneral["databasequeryobject"] of pObject is true
then
## you insert the following line
    select empty
## this causes any open field to receive a closeField

You might want to bugzilla this problem, and suggest
the patch above.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
