field focused but why ?

If you put the field into a group and set the group's traversalon to false, it will prevent the field from getting the focus on opencard, at least in desktop stacks. Don't know if this works in iOS too.

So that was not my last attempt.   I removed all keyboard commands.  Still works.  I looked carefully and no buttons have the focus.  I fiddled with some field properties.  So, I have no idea what I did.
